Amazing Grace

Rear Admiral “Amazing Grace” Hopper
To her colleagues quite the show stopper
She turned computers to household items
And now humans know how to control them

A counter-clockwise clock hung on her wall
To prove man’s mind is not so small
Always looking beyond and above
Her vision and efforts a labor of love

I had to Google her Linda, what an amazing woman she was. Lovely tribute to her. Tom

It pleases me that you looked her up Tom. There are so many amazing people that we don't often hear about. Linda
