Radiates

Off the Horizon
Off the Horizon

Her heart
        radiates from within her.
     It pulses
        reaches
        influences
        softens
          and
        brightens those around her.

Though she is smart
                    sharp
                    insightful
                       and
                    thoughtful,
       nothing compares
           to the way
              she cares for her Savior
                     and for others.
              She has such a
                       selfless way about her
                            at the very soul of her
                               that isn’t hidden
                                  from anyone.

Yet alongside
   her incredible
             heart,
   sometimes her
             brain

                        sparks

        out of nowhere
                        out of line
             out of syntax.

When nothing should be seized
       except the day,
   it is hard to accept
       the wrong in
       the everyday
         that just is,
         that she
           and we
             have no power
                 to change.

So we embrace
   all we can
        of what she
           so willingly gives
     through the pain
        and
     through the fear
          from her quiet strength
                  and overflowing heart.
