ODE TO GABRIELLE

 

 

She's optimistic and sweet.

Gentle yet proud.

But with a staff in hand,

She can thin out a crowd!

 

 

She sees the beauty in life

In people and things.

With her for a day.

Kindness is what it brings.

 

 

Very smart and thoughtful,

With a poets heart.

The ugliness in her life.

Rips her innocence apart.

 

 

Yet with a gleam in her eye,

And a laugh in her throat.

It just give's her more means

To write and quote!

 

 

Never misjudge her,

It would be your loss.

The bards' strength is mental.

She'd give you a toss!!

 

 

 

 

Love,

Salina R. Cousins
