For Win

smile joyful
search honorable
intelligence undeniable
heart pure
pulse strong
independently independent
adventurously adventurous
Buddhistly religious
middlely pathed
peaceably at peace
sincerely sincere
lovingly loved
mightily missed

Opening Flower

Like a summer flower
 Her smile is a gift
She can bring joy by thought alone
Watch your heart

Her laughter at class time is a thing to behold
Bold, funny, endearing and searing
A ringing of bells
A knowing of secrets

Her sweetness can smooth hurts
Ask her of mystery
Ask of love
From an ancient land to a foggy sky

My dear Ozlem
My friend
Thinking of you I pray
For your journey, life, safety, loves
Blessings friend
As your heart unfolds like an opening flower
