The Common Touch

(For Diana)

She traveled around the world
an angel in analytic flight
She traveled around the world
to befriend mortal plight.
She traveled around the world
like Elton’s candle in the wind
She traveled around the world
to provoke a world that sinned!

well, I wanted to tell you. That poem I mentioned to you in soupmail, I cannot figure out the page it is on. but it can be found by typing Indelible and my name after it in the top bar of Soup. that's how I was able to locate it but I cannot figure out the page it is on because when I click to go off it, I am back on my page one!!

Congratulations, Harry, on your 3rd place win in my contest. I always judge them blind, without knowing who the authors are. So, when I come here to see who won, I get a wonderful surprise. It is so nice to see you here among the winners. Thank you for supporting my contest...and for your patience in waiting for the results. Lovingly, Dane Ann
