Sister, Poet, Beloved Friend
 
Trish was here to welcome me,
encouraged me to write
and introduced my words to friends
she'd already made on Starlite.

She has been my inspiration
and I've loved her for so long.
Two sisters never loved so well...
when I'm down, she drags me along.

There are other sibling writers
I've come to know at our cafe
and there is nothing like a sister's love
to boost you along the way.

Of course there were many others
to ease my initiation.
Some are still here but many are gone,
depending upon situation.

Anita's gone, and Sorcha...
dear Albert left us blue,
but honestly, without my Trisha
I'd probably be long-gone too.

You may know her as Granny Rosie
or Munyinga if you are new
and I do hope you're blessed with a sister
...if you don't I can spare a few.




Just for you, My Trisha,
from your own...
