To Heather Ober

The sweet girl’s name is Heather Wispy…light as a feather She read my first rhyme She thought it sublime Her words bring sunny weather Straight off she made me a fav My little heart she did save She liked what she read My starved heart she fed A boost to my soul she gave Oh Heather, this one's for you You're a sweetheart through and through You’re eyes sparkle bright You light up this site You’re a dear friend tried and true! Eileen Manassian Ghali Some time ago, I was going through my first poems trying to find something out when I came upon this post from Heather on my very first poem published here, Dying Young: "Oh, wow, Eileen... This is heartbreaking. I've had thoughts like these before. I am adding this to my faves - and I'm adding you to my fave poets list! You are awesome!" Today I was reminded of it, and I just want to thank Heather personally for being so kind to a new poetess! How absolutely sweet. :) She is adorable, yes? And with one accord they all gave a resounding...."YES!"
