There ain't a soul within my sites about what ain't and might be right no one's planted fingerprints or left some DNA of lip-- they saw her pedaling her bike and noted that her skin was white so they screamed the epitaph left her writhing as they laughed-- and no one saw a thing. Me, who's always asking why cannot even dream a lie of reasoning to make it right-- they must take drugs to sleep at night they couldn't know she is a nurse who is the subject of this verse a soul so pure she can not curse she makes excuses for the worst in all of us, for everything. Now everyone, they want to know why she chose to ride that slow down the street where no one goes as if it were her fault to go down that street (the inbetween) of houses white and poverty around the corner to the field where blackberries abound in spring a basket that held naught but hope was left there lying in the street. I pray for her recovery-- and that her heart mends with the bone for such a soul I've never known-- because in matters of the skin and even human err of sin Laura is a step above-- she never saw a thing...but love.

just prayers please--she is in recovery, and I have heard from other nurses it's harder on them to be the patient. But thank you. Laura is among the people I can file under "Angels on Earth." We need her here. So prayers, yes? thanks Kari |

I can't help with a title... I can only tell you how my heart overflowed with the reading... and how fervently I hope your friend will recover with both body and spirit intact. |

Sometimes the most obvious escapes me... one of my favorites, too. Excellent tribute...excellent understanding. As always. And something from someone that we look forward to hearing from, every day. |

Karen...Very tender write from your heart. My prayers and hope for full recovery for her come on wings of the angels. Reminds me of another nurse from our town many years ago, Jo Ellen Smith. Her ending was very sad and touching. ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |
