Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Debra Or Deborah

Is she Debra or Deborah?
Debra suits her best
Although she has an aura
Her name could be Deborah.

Debra sounds sweeter,
I'd like to meet her,
Debra or Deborah,
You can't ignore her

She is a poet,
That's how we met.
She will go far in writing poetry,
I bet.

She has a knack,
By putting things right,
Pages and pages
Of words that delight.

I enjoy reading her poetry,
I try most days
Her foresight and understanding,
It blows me away.

If I could see into the future,
After taking a long look
I am confident I would see
The name Deb M on the cover of a book.

My wife’s name is Deborah…or so I thought, a couple years ago I found out that her given name on her birth certificate is Debra. Hmmm, I wonder if we are really married.
