Sylvia

Honest eyes,with no hint of betrayal; a sure wisdom and a certain innocence. You shine with magnetic radiance, needing no defense against the mini-tyrants that try to threaten the principles you hold dear as they attempt to manipulate, using only fear. You've attained a high position, without the folly of ambition but with a shrewdness of character to cope with any situation. You have no airs and graces, no self important attitude but a free laugh and an open mind. Your gift is your fortitude. Worthy of admiration, I would describe you as fine, Not base emotion but bordering on the divine. You watch, you look, you listen as some grow fat on their greed. You have the sense to know we all have what we need. By your example, we must learn to emulate your ways. God give us the strength and the grace to know the right route through this maze. No short cuts for convenience, the choices are ours to make; Our interests should take second place for everybody's sake. Only then will we find riches more valuable than gold; when we realise that no-one should be left out in the cold. When I made my mistakes you did not put me down. You dished me out no punishment, you did'nt even frown. You held my head above water, surrounded me with kindness, advised me and protected me and told me I was blameless. Through you I found the strength I already had inside to find myself and face the facts I can no longer hide. This means I will be able to fight for the truth and maybe, sometimes, like you, I will win; time will tell, we will see.
