------------
There once was this unbelievable Lady, of great source
who travelled this great Earth, as a matter of life's coarse
carrying within her, a heritage of great - wondrous force.
To the World, - then and now - she brought the word
onto two continents - many where fortunate and heard
and saw beauty and degradation - preformed - of this land
and the heroics and genocide of the first - the Red Man.
This Lady, of integrity, honesty, great soul, came to stand
for - what there is so little left of - from the hand of man
as we trample upon much of what once was noble, human
and of coarse, the source, the force that could make us so -
humane, especially at a time in this World's long history.
This was a beautiful Lady, who performed - wrote a story.
