About This Poem

ANDREA

[1955] Andrea Rae Miller... was born in Iowa The same year i fell in love with the Chevy Gave up lucky's for Kools Had my first shot of whiskey... and chased it down with a beer I was ten...was a very good year When Andrea was ten... She was most likely... running through the meadow...after her cat or still in love with Mighty Mouse... she has confessed me that She then grew up and went to BYU Became a teacher...and the lovely lady she is today I in turn...somehow managed to survive And here we both are...At PoetrySoup Where i post poetry..."Pushed past the lump in my throat" While hers rolls so eloquently off her tongue Yes ...we are friends...unlikely as it may seem Has forgiven me my tantrums...off color humor... accepted me as i am...into her heart If she were just in front of me...in a long long line... and at the counter concluding her business I'd still...step out of line...losing my place... just to follow her out the door...to watch her walk down the street... I find her that striking!

    I thought I had commented on this "twinkle in the eye poem" a long time ago,and found to my surprise that I hadn't left my comments when I first read it. Just came back this morning, and had to peek again..and it is so darn sweet, Andrea's face must have been pink when she read it...and what a gift you gave her to honor her with your wit, and sentimentality. Bet she has this framed, or tucked away in her book of sonnets to keep forever. On a dark day,something like this makes the sun shine. :)

    Oh Frank, you just voiced my sentiments about Andrea so very beautifully, she is the bestest thing that has ever happened to the soup, I simply adore her and I adore this tribute you have written Frank..Frank, wherever you are going, drop a line or pop in once in a while, anyways I am beginning to hate the idea of anyone going anywhere from the soup, I want everyone here daily, so what say you???
