For Elyse

From behind Elyse's eyes
There streams a light
Through which love shines
With all its might

Throughout Elyse's body
Nestled in every curve
Glows a hue purely golden
It is her calling to serve

In Elyse's heart
Beats the rhythm of the saints
And as service is an art form
A masterpiece she'll paint

Within Elyse's soul
Lives the divine innocence of dogs
And for the blessing of knowing her
I can only thank God

From behind Elyse's eyes
There streams a light
Through which love shines
With all its might
