To Mary Helen

Heroic One

Heroic one, warrior soul,

Spirit climbing to divinity,

Hard your path and far the goal,

Yet through your eyes God smiles at me.

In the silence, in the sound

I walk beside you gratefully,

For by Her grace our way is found

And love shall bloom eternally.

We have knelt before the feet

That touching earth all life shall change,

Our hearts in adoration greet

The light no darkness can estrange,

No force can slow, no power stay

The might of that transforming Ray.
