She speaks so very rarely
but her voice is always heard
as she unites so many people
from all around the world
What makes this lady special
is her kindness and her grace
Her compassion has no limits
for the challenges others face
On the outside she is gorgeous
but her true beauty lies within
If you listen to her message
without doubt your heart she’ll win
Helping others is her mission,
she encourages us all to do this too;
to give a simple act of kindness
for those less fortunate than me or you
Never one to be defeated
by the hand that she’s been dealt
Her laughter and her smile
is truly honest and heartfelt
In a time when many others
are bound by selfishness and greed
she is the ray of shining light
to a better world that leads
It’s important we all make noise
for those who struggle to be heard
So let’s follow her example,
let our actions speak louder than words
