Her Poem:

One day as I was thinking
Thinking as I often do
The subject turned to love
And immediately I thought of you
I thought of how you have changed my life
And relieved all my pain
I thought of how you've carried me
And all things in life I've gained
As I pondered these wonderous thoughts
I came upon one more
And thought about my sinful life
Only as it was before
And then it was there I realized
How much you've changed me inside
And made me the most gracious person
Now one more thing I cannot hide
I never thought of love
As an object or a person
I often thought about it being bliss and maybe a potion
I did not think it was something I could see
But now I see love everyday, everytime I look at me
It might be by my definition only
But you have made me love
And also you have made my life
Not just high but above.
(Sylvia Harris from Houston)
