Maria

Unique in every which way
Feminine and strong
Oozing with compassion
From the ocean all belong
All of us as Planeteers
Here to mindfully
Follow in her footsteps
That she treads
So beautifully

Genuine
She is an innovation
In the way
She takes on care and empathy
For others
Her dismay
is witnessing
The cruelty and the selfishness
Abroad
Which is why
Sea Shepherd so appeals
And she takes up their sword

Their spirit, and devotion
For the creatures of the sea
For the animals of the African Bush
And she is constantly
On the case
Creating a symbios she
Communicates on Facebook
And does it lovingly

Wild life
Ocean defender
Africa wild
And Anti three
She is an ocean warrior
It’s where she wants to be
Her senses are conversant
And her emotions too
Active she is a catalyst
For all that’s good and true

Her influence and aptness
And attentiveness as she
With benevolence and alertness
Painstakingly she be
Loving her convictions
Implicit in the way
She uses understanding
And awareness everyday

A shining light
For the under dog
Inventive that’s the key
I am happy she includes me
In her Friends list
And to be
Into her creativity
Her art and generosity
Everything about her
Her spirit through and through
Happy Birthday Maria

A poem just for you
