Heart of a Mentor

A young girl from the country,
Felt love from an early age,
Finding direction from our Savior,
Finding her purpose in love,
For love is inseparable from sharing,
A truth from our Heavenly Father.

She found a soulmate for sharing life,
A man called to live for God,
Fulfilling a mission of ministry,
While she strengthened his faith,
A foundation for each other,
Helping souls find the light of direction.

Hearts of the young called out to her,
In the calling she found direction,
Molding young souls for new life,
With a strength in faith and love,
To become a force of change in lives,
Because she was led to be their mentor.

Ministry and creation joined hands,
In a book which came from her heart,
Sharing love in a bridge across language,
To touch lives without fear of borders,
So their children could breathe faith,
In a life which they did not have.

Years passed though the effects have not,
Good seeds grew far and wide through fields,
Bearing fruit of many flavors and colors,
Blessing more lives she would never see,
To share with love in the union of hearts,
And we shared in the joy of her smile.

We go forth from who we once were,
Because she dreamed of all we could be,
And we shared in her dream with faith,
Now carrying her where we each go,
Shining through every one of our lives,
As we carry the heart of a mentor.
