In Your Poems

I see a child
that the world did wrong
I see a child
who grew up to be strong.
I see a woman
one to admire
I see a woman
one to desire.
I see a poet
with words astounding
I see a poet
with words resounding.
In your poems
I see you
In your poems
I see me!

Yea Harry I was wondering the same thing, who the woman is in your poem. Look how so many questioned who she is. Provoking a response is what poets do best. A great write. Warm Smiles Always, Connie
