Personal Message

Fran My Sister

Valiant woman

     giver of life

              life’s nurturer

lover of fun

  serious woman

      competitive woman

          inner drive

               outward motion

happenings

     not always

          of choice

always

      embraced

cherisher

  of life

gatherer

     of memories

         transformed

               purified

               for new life

welcome

  of things

     great

               and small

  the lady bug

    the child

      the bud

in wonderment

   at all

       all movement

      and life

         dancing

            swirling

         twirling

in a noisy

    joyous

      chorus

what value

     the darkness

       the inner turmoil

            outer void

the spark

    is there

what breath

   to fan

       the flame
