Sheri's Poem

WHAT I’VE SEEN IN SHERI

I’ve seen the love her child knows best.

The true affection she displayed

While on her lap her daughter laid.

Secure beside her mother’s breast.

I’ve seen the feelings, that she keeps buried,

Exposed behind the twinkle in her eye

While speaking of that quiet special guy

The one she loves, the one she married.

I’ve seen her worried and dismayed

I’ve listened to her share her woe,

I’ve seen her tears of sorrow flow,

I‘ve held her hand and we have prayed

I’ve seen the richness of her heart

I’ve seen faith she tries to live

I’ve seen the strength she has to give

I’ve seen the love she can impart.

I’ve seen the wounds she tries to bury,

I’ve seen the fear she tries to hide.

I’ve seen her tender, gentle side
