These works are translated by a creative, young girl whose growth was interrupted. The gravity of her pain is buried very deep. This page is an effort to rescue her expressing as God allows, her thoughts as they unfold. Now as she peers through the lens of a woman, she endeavors to free herself. As she taps into those hidden places, a true poet is sure to emerge. I hope as you read, you too will unearth some things inside yourself and with her, continue to grow.

Heaven-Sent Valentine
I didn't have a valentine
So God made a special delivery
He planted you inside my heart
So I could have good company
Your positive light, enlightening soul
Great comfort for the weary
Your words, manifold-petalled roses, which
Escort me to my trundle and into the night
Accompany me as I greet every new sunrise
Cradle me in the deepest of sorrows
Sweet relief your visage brings
Sun rays on a platter served fresh to me daily
Encapsulated in all pleasantries
That are exchanged between us
I imagine a kiss from your lips would be
Sweeter than all the candy in the world
Melting into your arms, I'd revert to the days
When I was a girl who needed to be held
With tears rolling down my face
I'd hold you back and hold on tight
Today you are my valentine, dear heart of mine
Divinely selected, and just in time
It was not by accident we met
Your essence is something I'll never forget
Moreover my soul will not rest until
We stand face to face, while the world stands still
A stare into your piercing brown eyes is what I need
To inhale your manly fragrance would revive my heart
God knew just how much your presence would mean
Heaven gently steered you in my direction
You graciously obliged and made room for me
Truly grateful that you acknowledge my affection.
