For Judith

I learned from a lighthouse
how to see.
She found me in my darkness,
her wisdom set me free.
I learned from a willow
how to sway in the breeze.
Her durability comforted me.
I learned from a brave soul
how to love.
Her heart on her sleeve,
she taught me to be me.
I learned from a soft word
how to be kind.
Her magic and guidance
is spoken in my words
 you will find.
