Sister Lisa

You were the quiet one
for the two years you are older
yet still the wiser
I have only a tantalizing verse for you
just that I'm so dam proud
of the woman you've become
you're children are gorgeous
baking in the good Lords'
glory
to do GODS' will
with no steady man
perhaps one day
even in the month of May
a beast will cry
'catch me if you can'
