Intrepid Entrepreneur

She liked being her own boss
It suited her personality very well
Coming in at your own hours,
occasionally taking a nap when you chose to
Surf the latest fashions,
scroll through the top trending news
Nothing like having your own business,
it's even better when it becomes a success

As an intrepid entrepreneur,
just another day in the life
She enjoyed making the fresh bread,
she enjoyed holding the butter knife

Spreading the wealth
gave her much satisfaction
Treating her employees good
was the ultimate euphoric lift
Shopping at the free market
is such a volatile affair
Things don't always go as they should
Bids accepted, bids denied;
some days she won the contract,
some days she was miffed
But making her own decisions everyday,
was like each day giving herself a gift

As an intrepid entrepreneur,
she enjoyed tasting the frosting,
she enjoyed cutting the cake
She enjoyed setting her own clock every daybreak


A tribute to my beloved sister Patrice

Cheryl Hoffman Date: 10/26/2016 9:25:00 PM What a nice tribute to your sis Freddie! You are a wonderful brother to write such nice poems about your sisters! P & L~Che Login to Reply Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 10/27/2016 11:25:00 AM Ty, Cheryl. I love 'em all, we're a tight knit family. Was raised that way to love one another like Jesus commanded us to do. Stay blessed. Love always, RW.

White Wolf Date: 10/26/2016 9:13:00 PM A fitting tribute RW. I'm sure she would agree. Login to Reply Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 10/27/2016 11:23:00 AM Yep. She's a go-getter, no doubt about that. Ty for the love and support, my friend. RW

Paloma P Date: 10/26/2016 5:35:00 PM Your sister is an amazing entrepreneur. There's love written 'tween the lines here. 'Check your first line, I think you need an s or d.' She must have been over the moon to read this! Nice homage to sis. :) Login to Reply Freddie Robinson Jr. Date: 10/27/2016 11:22:00 AM Ty for the sharp eye, Paloma. Sometimes I post after writing for hours. Bad habit. Appreciate the loving comments. Love you, lady. RW
