Ode to Gabrielle
The Face of Faith
A girl from Portedia
The fates would foretell
A beauty for the ages
Once she came out of her shell
Offering the gift of light
She lives for peace
But is ready to fight
With a guide she walks along the path
Sincere in her virtues
Though tested, they last
A new friend is a friend forever
She’ll offer everything she’s got
Just don’t wipe your ass with one of her scrolls
Or give away her pots!
Finding “The Way” is hard
Filled with wonder
Is our Bard
To learn and grow
Is to have to let go
Because none of us know
The things that we know
So she questions, she asks
Her curiosity is relentless
There is a fine line between confidence
And the arrogance of a young apprentice
With a heart purer then
gold
And a Mentor made of steal
She falls and is helped up
Their bond of love
Is realer then real
But questions persist
And doubts are inside
Am I on the right path?
And then along came Eli
Love was to be the way
Until a demon was about to slay
Then with one look in her eyes
She and her soul mate
Became synchronized
Caterpillars become butterflies
The circle is complete
A new warrior steps forward
As her Mentor wins one last
time
By accepting a noble defeat
Who is this angel
That has been to hell?
She is kindness incarnate
And her name is Gabrielle
Renee, thank you for creating a
character that inspires so many
