A Great Poetic Nurse

Under the North Dakota skies,
Karen O’Leary’s heart lives free.
A gifted freelance writer,
Blessing us with her poetry.

Nestled by the mountains,
Is where her life resides.
She’s a good Christian mother,
Who takes each day in stride.

She shares her gift of words,
Creating masterful art in verse.
A loving wife to her husband,
And a great poetic nurse.
