-. To Thee Oh Karen!

I am glued to thee oh soupers!
Many of you I have never seen
From places I have never been
Yet I feel thy sights and sounds… so super

I am addicted to thee oh soupers
With unknown faces… I do not worry,
 Your history is written in my dazzling diary
I’m lost in thy pages oh proud pens… I wander

I am proud of thee oh soupers!
I startle at the stars in thy saintly sky,
I’m surprised… pens grew wings to fly
In a pot of soup where words work wonder… I wonder

I am indebted to thee oh soupers!
Amongst thee is this blessed berry
A shining cherry, one and only Karen O’Leary;
In this global garden we glow and grow… together
