For Rebecca

It is quite the task to capture a person in a poem. For each member of my team I composed a poem for their birthday in which I attempted this. I hope you enjoy!

For Rebecca 

It’s in your smile,

Brightened Brilliantly with time.

Wise words slip through that smile.

Life giving words of strength.

Etched in my soul and memory.

Yes, it’s in that smile.

It’s in your eyes,

Smokey blues, far from cloudy.

Objective lens that takes in and sees.

Not one glimmer of light unseen or vibrant color missed.

Captured in a flash, now forever infinite.

Yes, it’s in those eyes.

It’s in your laugh.

Paralyzing hysteria that's contagious.

Howling in joyful noises,

Feeding our spirits. It keeps us high.

Unleashed and Untamed, Unforgettable.

Yeah, It’s in that laugh.
