Her eyes so deep with passion
Her hair as dark as night
She whispers words of beauty
Her softness will ignite

Peace in life she offers
With every word her love
Katherine speaks her wisdom
With softness of a dove

Care of all is given
Her heart upon her sleeve
She offers all her friendship
Her spirit never leaves

Today I offer friendship
With love within my heart
Give her wings to lean on
The healing soon with start

Time will give her courage
Loved ones share their faith
Upon this gentle beauty
Life's obstacles abate

Great and Mighty Spirit
Protect her with your shawl
The one she carries daily
Wings that conquer all

Love comes in a breeze now
That comforts her within
Moving forward daily
New destiny begins

Strength becomes her fortress
Her courage now sustained
For all of us who love her
So much in life is gained.
