Notes About The Poem

Tribute birthday poem to Eileen and her husband, dear friends.

Imagine Eileen

I've known strong professional women before
their grace under pressure, I'll always adore.

These ladies who are driven by such devotion
are the ones who dare to focus their emotion.

These dames who face boldly issues of gender
tightly hold principle and never surrender.

There weren't many like this who I'd ever seen
till through Tom her husband, I'd met Eileen.

Eileen sounds like her own woman's woman, with a mind of her own, and she is probably listened to, revered, and respected by many. Nice tribute, Greg.

Thank you kindly Caren. I imagine Eileen somewhat like I imagine you, a woman of substance deserving every respect.
