Linda

Linda with the crippled fist. Knarl to her smile. Walking with the slightest limp. Cap held on in style. Moving like an Engineer. Cane to shrug her on. Spectacles of smiling eyes. Pain as good as gone. On her way to see a friend. Pleased to share her time. Often helping with a task. Spirits on the climb. Staying out for many hours. Later to return. Carting back a tired smile. Proof of fun but stern. Humble in her quick hello. Greetings left to say. Linda quick to say goodnight moving on her way. Finally back at her apartment. Resting on her mind. Entering her speeding door expecting what she'll find. Home at last to end the day. Completely Satisfied. Tomorrow coming just as fast as Linda to be tied. Snuggling in her bed at night remembering the day. Thankful for the one she had; tomorrow on the way. That will have to wait for now. Linda's fast asleep. Dreams are what the world needs now and Linda's just that deep.

Thanks Ilene. The first verse was what came to me first. I was afraid it might insult her at first. I still haven't heard from her. Fingers crossed.
