A Sonnet for My Godmother

There are no words that can truly express

The depth of love that flows from within my

Heart. In hopes that I can somehow defy

This frailty, I give you my all, my best.

I simply wish there was some way to test,

Or to prove, you have an endless supply

Of prayer and praise from my family

Whom you have overwhelmed with your kindness.

You are my Godmother, God-given and

God-like. In you I see Christ shine so bright

And hope I can reflect to you such light

in times, like these, when it is hard to stand.

Take my hand, my shoulder, all that you need.

While actions await, my prayers precede.
