Analysis of The Essence of Jeannine



To know her a privilege
To make her laugh divine
The heart of a mother, a daughter, a sister, a friend
Eyes that see far beyond natural comprehension
Lips that can utter words that pierce and words that heal
Encompassed by grace and beauty
She scatters Jupiter's jewels where she walks
With the utmost tenderness
She can pacify the firey ram into a serene state
A breathing display of a woman's strength
A walking illustration of amity
Humanity at its finest
The essence of Jeannine
