In memory of Patrice Bolyard

Fields full of colors,
I'm blinded by the beauty.
Every one is special
God's unique creation.

She was the first flower I studied.
Precious, delicate, and marvelous.
Casting an impression in my mind
of what inner beauty is.

Reminding me to share that brilliance
with others through
kindness, gentleness and humility.
Those are the colors that never fade.

My childhood friend, Patrice Bolyard passed away 6 years ago, and on certain days I'm reminded of her.  
Today is one of them.
