She is one of the most beautiful women I know,
Her angelic beauty came from deep within.
 When I was little she was always on the go.
She embraced the Lord and avoided all sin.
 
She taught these basic principles 
To all the children, left in her care.
I loved to hear her talk about Jesus' miracles.
It almost made you feel you were there.
 
When she spoke about the Lord,
Her face lit up with a light divine.
She showed what his love could afford,
Her complexion had a pearl like shine.
 
Her voice was rich with a timbre so mellow 
She could weave a magical trance 
She made every man feel like a lucky fellow
Especially when she was chosen to dance
 
You ask how can I know this was the case,
She always told me to do my very best.
 As her daughter I was privy to her feminine grace,
Shown how to let the world know I was blessed.
