Her stature may be shorter, but in my eyes she always stands tall.

Her talents are as many as the kinds of Jelly Bellies at the mall.

As a wife, she is loving.

As a mother, so very giving.

She teaches young minds, even those who speak language of a different kind.

She is a cheerleader who keeps up morale with chocolate and coffee and dancing to Vanilla Ice.

Everyone who meets sees her as so much more than nice.

I am so grateful to her for many, many lessons and especially for introducing me to the Slice.
