This poem is dedicated to a created soul and gentle woman I briefly met. Who was truly inspired by God and now Perlie lives with Him!

Pearleanne Madison, a magnifcent lady,
lived three score years and some change.
What a blest soul so deeply spiritual,
your legacy on earth remains!
Your life and belongings poured
out on a table,
red hats, jeans, two sewing machines.
Pendants, collages, trinkets
for the hair,
coats, vests, beautiful shoes to wear,
scattered on window sills
where you lived
An apartment building near the river,
and still your spirit says give!
Your ascension to heaven saddens me,
although no better place to be,
than with who created thee,
home at last eternally!
Your beautiful creative spirit,
your wisdom Perlie you,
made wonders with your hands,
red, yellow, orange and blue,
colored our world bright fresh anew.
Purple, black, green majestic serene.
Ceramics and beauty was your thing,
simply made and fired earrings,
broaches, nick knacks, figurines,
cups, platters, all sorts of things.
Everytime I touch something of yours,
I look to heaven and then I'm floored!
I am humbled by God most high,
who put the sun bright in the sky.
he gave you a heart pure as gold,
your legacy its impact yet to unfold!
