Poem: My Women Saints

I wonder about Helen,
what she must think of me.
About Tabitha, too,
and inevitably Ruby.
What about Mascha
and Jennifer Lynn,
what about Brooke,
will I see her again?
I know about Candice
and Erin makes me cringe.

I still hear from Sarah
and Rhiannon wont write
(I think she's just busy,
enjoying her life).
Add to them Kendra
and put Meghan, too.
Never forget Julie
(I'm still sorry to you).
If it's not to late
I have to add Patti
(There may be a few more
who'll know get all catty).

But there are still more
whose names now ellude me,
who took of their time
soley to include me,
the meaning of Love,
of Closeness and Unity.
I'll honor them all
at the first opportunity.

Salute to Kristin,
to Lauren, Michelle.
To Jolie and Gina
and LaChon as well.
I pray you the best
in all your affairs!
I pray that it's lifted;
your burdens and cares.
Freed for yourself
to sail through the night,
cackling at all,
and exuding your light.

I wish you meant me when saying Lauren.

But I think I will manage nevertheless. <3
