Tribute Seven

"The Welcomer"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

Something about her relieves me of my breath
Keenly, she supports all who reach her path
Allusions of perfection seem to provide her wealth
The complex simplicity of her being can only be described by math
All her Beauty is clearly visible, she has no need for stealth

Skat brings so much warmth to this site by making everyone feel special. She was one of the first to welcome me here, too... A very nice tribute poem for her, Eric!
