The Woman with the Powers

She is a woman of eloquence and grace,
a self-less soul conjured up of 2 parts dedication,
3 parts caring and 4 parts happiness.

A spirit that completely revolutionized me at such a youthful and perplexing
time in my life, 
she will forever be engraved into my heart as a woman of wondrous powers,
for the astonishing way,
her simple words and presence impacted me.

To a beautiful mother, educator, and dear friend,
you are so much more than you know,
I credit a huge part of my story to you.
