Erin

Woman
friend
caring
charming
her smile
disarming
isn’t pretend
she offers
no pretense
she just
understands
an extends
a hand
an open
heart
she’s deep
wise
and smart

A teacher
in every regard
whether she’s
connecting with kids
– our societal discards –
offering them
a fresh start
if they
see truly
and work hard

-or-

To friends
whom she offers
her fine art
baking cakes
she celebrates
with taste
chocolate frosting paste
encased and made
the Erin way
with love
always
