A TRIBUTE TO OUR DEAR LOVELY OVERSEER "SHIRLEY DENSON"
The heavens glows in joyfulness,
and the earth leaps in cheerfulness,
for this special gift delivered to humanity,
you're a spiritual Mother with full of sanctity.
God has already adorned your personality,
with a garment of anointing, ability with sincerity,
that's why i'm expressing my unfeigned gratitude
your kindness is an expression of beatitude.
True motives always bring their reward,
it always lead spiritually onward and upward,
you're generally regarded as a good shepherd,
whose loyalty to her divine calling is revered.
Time can't spare me to spill words of emotion,
appreciations and extol your Godly devotion
towards God and Man; for you're an epitome
of God's ambassador, when time shall come,
your glory and honour shall never elude you,
for your stewardship before God drops new dew.
today I pray, let the magnificent grace be upon
thee, for you're a vessel in the world hereupon.

Actually I don't know about the preacher. But, my twin brother's finance in USA asked me to write for her.

Ive met some people like this
Its I think a wonderful ode to the light that people like her shine on the world. I also loved "your kindness is an expression of beatitude is such a great line. "With full of sanctity" trips me up a little, im not sure the with belongs there. When I write poems about religion I also like to quote the bible, but thats just my perogative. Maybe something about how she will inherit the earth, how hers is the kingdom of god, etc

Thank you Large marge
You know her really? Me I don't know anything about her. Just I was told to write about an overseer of a church just for an appreciation.So, those words just fall out as it is.
