She Walked In the Room With Her Pen and a Smile

She walked in the room with her pen and a smile Determined to be so much more than is seen Dressed all in blue it’s her favorite color Well just about if she’s not wearing green Picks out a spot doesn’t care if it’s taken Planning to start getting right in the groove To hell with the men in their grey suits of flannel She has arrived and has something to prove Give her a task she will handle it quickly Don’t blink an eye or she’ll pass you right by She’s here to work isn’t into game playing Only knows “do” there is no thing as “try” She isn’t looking to climb any ladders But if she was, she would land at the top Focused on solving the difficult problems Once she gets going, she’s so hard to stop Don’t call her a girl for she is a woman So very strong in her own special style They could all see she was no one to mess with When she walked in the room with her pen and a smile
Just having a little fun this afternoon. Written about a good friend who fits this poem perfectly

Sounds like she walked into the room with a pen -- her sword, and a smile of daggers... One tough customer, this lady. 'Some like them strong.' Intriguing write, my friend! Best wishes, Gershon

With a pen and a smile...She walked in silence.. Sorry I added that to your line..But its how I picture her.. I loved the colour you picked as her favourite colour.."Blue"..Its my fave colour too.. And if its not Blue it must be Mr.Green..I meant Green..Oops :)..my interpretation.Lovely sweet poem.There a nothing better in life than a strong person with a pen..a smile and a humble heart..Love the descriptions of what a woman should be like ..I love it Mr.Green.

Thank you my friend but she will never know. This was written from memories of a past employment and someone I knew in that office

What a super tribute, she sou ds like an amazingly strong woman, I wonder if she would recognise herself if she read it... sometimes it's only through others that we 'recognise ourselves:-) hugs Jan xx

I worked with women like this. They were "on their way!" And we looked up to them!

I looked up to her, that's for sure. She was something special. And even though she was strong, she was nice about it too. : ) Thanks so much my friend.

Like I told Brenda below, she was a hard worker and no one to mess with. : ) Thanks for reading and commenting Andrea.

She was a hard worker and didn't take any crap off of the men in her office. I know I wouldn't mess with her. : ) Thank you Brenda.
