wise woman

---

My Katie dear, I love you near - to me.

You are my home, where’air I roam. You be

the one who learned .. & somehow turned (I see)

to home, a place; your smile on face when free-

ly shared around turns Earth (I’ve found) to the

edge of heaven, for the seven day week.

You’re strong to build - though many willed, you act.

And for my part, I bless your art’s impact.

             ---xxxooo---

You use hidden abilities to squeeze

a “Welcome in” to rich parts of our life. 

You’re learning from Dame Folly and her tease-

-ing ways, to build instead*, of a “fish-wife”. 

             ---xxxooo---
