Her  (Mary)

She is someone who is there when you need her    
She can be tough    
Her words can be a sword    
She can be forgiving    
When she knows it is well-meant    
   
Life has not been easy for her    
She is brave to say it without an apology    
Hoping to help someone afraid to be brave    
She holds her head high    
Even in the midst of tears rolling down her cheeks    
   
A light when you need one    
A red light when he needs one    
But in either light, she shines brightly
