She walks in sunlight
and dreams of times
past present she lives
in the idea of having
and being with love
and family friends and
church…she floats
heart to heart to
soul to soul, a cloud
descending enveloping
and wrapping the small
corners the ends with
warmth and firm hands
a firm mind; she holds
and is held in turn and
in dreams she relives
each smile, each laugh
…the eternal Christmas
wish …the endless dream
she walks in the sunlight
of her smile, within the
hearts of all who cast
shadows from it as if a
saintly cloud floats down
streets, down alleys
and settles on the lives
of all whom she touches
