RIP Pamela Brooks

I wrote this for my mum and Pamela...

In my life
And in my dreams,
In my heart,
What you mean to me:

You gave me hope
And love and peace,
A desire to live,
And a mind to dream.

A little girl
With tears and hate,
You helped me love
And let me change.

You saw the world
A beautiful place
You let me see it
Amazing grace.

Serenity Garden
Let beauty amaze
Open your mind
And find your way

Thank you for
Your courage/strength
Your art and love
And inspiring ways,

I don't know how
To begin to say,
I aspire to live like you
every day.

So thank, thank you,
Love, and please:
Words to live by,
And believe.
