So Divinely Human

 

You have that kind of beauty,

            That Venus longed to have;

So graceful and appealing,

            It makes the gods go mad.

 

Yet you have a subtle modesty,

            That puts us all in ease;

Propriety incarnate,

            With the willingness to please.

 

You share a kind compassion,

That puts us all in ease;

A healer par excellence,

            Releasing us from pain.

 

Your hands take heed to render,

            To fill our hearts with love;

Like a blessed goddess,

            Who’s inspired from above.

 

And though you shine this divine beauty,

            Your human side is clear;

Reminding us of our earthly path,

            With its laughter and its tears.
