Not my style
To focus on what I cannot do.
I regard that as self-torment.

Not my style
To emphasize disability
I regard that as a guilt trip.

The truth is…
I believe that anything is possible

Some how
Some way
Some day

It may take more time
It may take more money
It may take more interest

Then I assign priorites
For what can be done--Now

Bridget...

it was all of this
that told me I had
in front of me,
indeed, a very, very
special friend, mentor,
compatriot, and one
heck of an honest
poet.

So, do it again!

Bridget Shenachie,
You already knew how much I like your attitued.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
