No matter what you go through your faith it doesn't falter
There's nothing I could say about you that I would wish to alter
Your strength is much like Samson's stronger than a bull
And when we see you not well it certainly seems cruel
A love you have for everyone its there for all to take
You give it so willingly its pure its true not fake
The kindness and the goodness you show to everyone
Proves you belong to God and to Jesus Christ the son
God uses you in many ways and that is plain to see
He takes you in his arms each day and holds you tenderly
Your smile is so infectious and that gets spread around
To everyone that knows you a true friend in you they've found
When people leave your presence they leave with peace and joy
Filled afresh with the Holy Spirit be it girl or boy
You build us up in every way without a second thought
You calm us when we're highly strung or feeling very distraught
You are bound for better things I know that this is true
Because you trust in Jesus Christ in everything you do
The Lord will truly bless you for you're always on his mind
You show great faithfulness to God your gentle and your kind
You have self control and patience you do all that you can
Blessings will pour upon you its all part of our Lord's plan
And even when there are times you can't take anymore
God picks you up and carries you till your no longer sore
You have so many qualities you’re a cut above the rest
And of all the people that I know you truly are the best
You’re an inspiration to us all your constant and your there
To many many people you’re an answer to their prayer
You're as wise as Solomon brave as David the King
You have so much to offer you delight us when you sing
I could go on forever about all your qualities
You have all the fruits of the Spirit and our God you do please
The Lord will bless and keep you for he delights in you
I know that he loves you and that I love you too.

Note: The following has been added by the Author. Comments are welcome and there's a survey attached to this Poem.Gail
I have known Gail since she was 13 years old when I became her step mother.
Gail became my spiritual parent and led me to the Lord in 1993.
Out of my 4 step-children I was always closest to Gail, in fact because she
was only 3 years younger than me she was more like a sister.
Sadly, in November 2001, Gail took ill and was rushed into hospital. Tests
showed she had three brain aneurysms which needed surgery. This has left her
with 90% brain damage and no hope of recovery. Because of this she cannot
function in any way and has no quality of life. I am praying that the Lord
will take her soon to allow her three children and her family to begin the
healing process as they are facing a daily living death.
