[Thespiritexpress] Raven

[Jima]

from Carlie

THANK-YOU LYDIA FOR SHARING THE POEM THAT RAVEN HAD WRITTEN FOR GRACEE.  
BOTH RAVEN AND GRACEE WERE STRONG WOMEN IN THIS CIRCLE OF LOVE.  It 
warms my heart.

>>> You nursed us with light and love
>>> from the soul of your being
>>>
>>> You were a traveler, singer,
>>> and most of all a giver
