Written and dedicated to one of my daughters ..
Of whom I am ever so proud ..

Earth has always had it's earthbound angels
I've always known that they were around~
But one has to just be so very lucky in life
To actually find a real one on the ground~
A beautiful soul with so much charisma
Eyes that would steal away ones heart~
A personality ever so magnetic and sublime
A dear friend to all right from the start~
Her very smile one could never forget
A heart of pure gold~
An absolute true earth bound angel
Once only found in days of old~
How she radiates love and values
Has integrity beyond compare~
A true friend to last a lifetime
And such wisdom is always there-
One feels warmth when she appears
Within her eyes one could surely drown~
Always wearing a magnetic smile
An earth bound angel on the ground~
Sincerity simply at its finest
To fault her one could never dare~
Life for her has not been at all easy
Her woes she's so often reluctant to declare-
There's an ability to look within a soul
But she is as humble as a soul can be-
Intellect and knowing lives within her
As silently she tackles all diversity-
This beautiful soul is named Melissa
A mother,a friend to all ever so very caring-
Seldom does she receive what it is she gives
Within her dear heart of love and sharing-
