Dane Ann's Special Gifts

Gentle voice Soft and soothing on the phone At any hour, you’re never alone Spiritual heart Fills each day with acts of kindness By her presence you are blessed Faithful ally Stands by you when your world’s cold And never utters a secret told Generous nature Whatever she has she will give to you Knows what you need and takes her cue Joyful soul Dries your tears and makes you smile Paints happiness in artistic style Loving spirit Kind words she offers to everyone Even the most trying son of a gun Forever friend Not a ship that passes in the night Makes your entire lifetime bright * Dedicated to American poet Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen, a Super Souper who has brightened my world. Her grandchildren call her "Maw Maw."
