You, my beloved, bring light to my soul <br />Before I met you, I lived on parole <br /> <br />Freedom, elusive, seemed so far out of reach <br />No matter the lessons that life tried to teach <br /> <br />Daffodils, dancing, abloom in my heart <br />Sprout angelic wings, they swoop and they dart <br /> <br />Yellow with great joy, their petals unfurl <br />And now, thanks to you, I love being a girl <br /> <br />Flowers, in prison, can’t thrive – they just die <br />No wings can grow there – without you, I can’t fly <br /> <br />November,2006<br /><br />Rev.
