Analysis of Breath taking

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



. Potential. Fulfilled.

Your beauty was breath taking
A cloud in dewy eyes
Perfect ease with self
Without dress compromised
With what joy you were blessed
In your peace of mind smile
How can we emulate your harmony
Have we existed in it all the while
