Alicia

A woman, not only beautiful, but hot
Shallow, insecure, needy she is not
Her beauty is of the rarest kind
Existing in her heart and mind

Respiratory program, employed at Enloe
Managing her hectic schedule, coffee to go
Capable at listening to her inner voice
Succeeding as a single parent is her choice

Her ability to accept and listen is exceptional
Creative, unique, practical, yet conventional
Natural therapist, intuitive, compassionate
Her spiritual nature is deep and passionate

Responsible, choosing to do the right thing
Being a mother to Alexa and Amari mean everything
Challenging herself to have faith and rise above
Protecting her kids, when push comes to shove

Talented dancer, singer, writer, mother
She has a multitude of skills like no other
Fixing people with her charm and wit
She learns from mistakes very quick

A natural humanitarian, she helps others heal
Setting an example, how to handle life and deal
By just being herself, she teaches love, not hate
And, that it’s never too late to be something great
