Jean Murray Poet Couplet

Butter Fly To Jan

As my butterfly emerges from it's cocoon.
I whisper a secret in this hot house room.

Spread your wings my little friend.
I want you to help someone mend.

Take a message across the Irish Sea.
To the Isle of Man, if you please.

Land on the shoulder of my friend Jan.
Tell her it's good she is so calm.

If the face of undeserved favouritism.
She has risen above giving criticism.

To those who desreve to be ashamed.
When my friend Jan was not to blame.

Thank you butterfly and thank you Jan.
Remember you have the love of a decent man.

Andrea Dietrich July 6, 2016 at 2:57 PM oh, I read below here and found out it has nothing to do with the Soup. That is GOOD news but you were a wonderful friend anyway to know her personal plight and write this sweet poem for her. I hope to get into communication with her again too, now tHat I am home from my little vacay. Very nice, Jean. Jean Murray July 6, 2016 at 6:49 PM Thank you Andrea. Along with Silent One, Jan welcomed me with open arms here. One does not forget these things.

Alexis Y. July 5, 2016 at 9:48 AM Hi Jean, I enjoyed your piece for Jan. All I know is she is one of the good ingredients of soup. Always so kind and encouraging. And doesn't mind being a friend to new a person on the site. And she's very talented and so dang funny. So I say the critics are just starting mess-Alexis Jean Murray July 5, 2016 at 9:51 AM Sorry Alexis, my reply was meant for Victor. I agree, she is a breath of fresh air here. Jean Murray July 5, 2016 at 9:49 AM Sorry Victor, I wrote this today in response to comments she made herself regarding to her own family. Nothing at all to do with the Soup. I avoid the blogs like the plague, as I prefer to "hear no evil...see no evil." etc.
