This is a beautiful free verse Jessica and a lovely dedication to our Sally. She truly is inspiring and so too are your words here. They flow, and they show the writer's emotions, that's what I love in free verse.

Jess, what a beautiful job of describing the plight of a woman losing her vision (Sally) and how she refuses to let that dim her view of life. In fact, it seems to have sharpened her perceptions, and she has compensated for the loss, which is only a loss if you look at it that way, rather than simply a change.

What little she may still see is enough to inspire her to use her imagination to fill in the blanks. Hers is a marvelous story of resilience that you have captured in your poem. It makes me think of my own loss of my ability to play golf, but my life is as or more fulfilling because my love of writing has been able to replace it.

That's the way to proceed with your life. As they say, when one door closes, another opens. Thanks for the beautiful reminder of this with your wonderful poem.

I think this is a lovely dedication to Sally and an appreciation of all the inspiration she brings to those around her. You paint a picture of just how beautiful the human spirit can be in compensating for her loss of vision by enhancing something more intense and unbreakable within -her faith. Thanks for sharing. Debbie

Hello Jessica,
What a wonderful thing to do, to write such a marvelous poem dedicated to Sally. The imagery and description are as beautiful as the soul who inspired them, and the heart of the one who wrote them.
Splendid.
Best wishes to all.

This free verse poem is as inspirational as our Sally Law. You speak of her spirit beaming in light, blossoming with color. Your well chosen words demonstrate her ability to rise in spite of challenges as she shares the essence of her soul to encourage others. Your poem shows us it is possible to rise, blessed and undiminished, regardless of circumstances. Well done.
