Essence of Barbi

Human portrait,
      -A work of art.
Asian beauty.

Personal truth,
      -A necessary filter.
Brute honesty.

Inspirational story,
      -A fulfilling journey.
Human strength.





*This poem is about a woman that I came across on the internet that has 
overcome great obstacles. *

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment. My condolences for your loss. This poem was written after I read a woman’s life story online and it touched me deeply enough to pen some words about her. Thank you again.

Hi, Grace! Beautiful name you have! My granddaughter has the same name, but I called her Grandpas' "Gracie." May she R.I.P. Anyway, Nice penning, Grace. Inspired me to be able to read this, and inspirational. Best of Wishes, William
