My husband had done a poem for a friend of ours and she asked if I would put it in a collage for her. Here is the finished piece which is 9" x7".
The poem reads;
Some people are special
the way they live inspires us all.
They give us support and love
they just seem to be there to
catch us when we fall.
Just being near them gives us warmth.
They shine and share with us
their radiant light.
When things go wrong
they give us the courage
to keep up the good fight.
Seeing them go through their own
personal sorrow and strife.
Not being afraid to cry or show fear
yet still carry themselves with dignity
and a heart full of compassion.
It is an awesome expressiom of how
their honor can enhance one's own life.
They don't hide their joy
they laugh and smile.
Caring of others
yet confident and independent.
They have their own style.
Loving and forgiving through
all your ups and downs.
Somehow they let you know
they will always be around.
A lust for music
they dance so caerfree.
That is why Nancy
is a very special friend
and you will always be to me.
