Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

My Favorite Mentor

I am carefully, carelessly, cheerfully, unapologetically me.
I am joyfully, swiftly, truthfully, completely, captivatingly me.
Can’t you be a little less YOU?” my favorite mentor asks me.
I look at her, and we start laughing.
We cannot stop.
We laugh until we are sobbing.
See now why she is my favorite?
