Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

You Have the Gift

Forever young, bubbly and happy
You found that secret formula
Working your charm for tips
In the best of upscale resto-bars
Where clients indulge in micro vacations

Longing to pamper themselves
You never fail to enhance their experience
With your generous luxurious smile
And that natural glitter in your eyes

You make them feel like
The outside world no longer exists
There’s no hiding or denying
Your exotic trips have tinted your charisma

Your long lavish hair complements your youthful heart
You’ll never give in and get old
Voracious traveller and lover of life
There’s no job you’d rather do
Than greet this classy crowd

You have the party hostess flair
The gift of reaching in for the pearl
And getting the best of people

With your charm it’s the challenge you love
No one walks away forgetting your smile
Untouched by your contagious love for life
It lingers with them like an intoxicating perfume

Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly April 29, 2018 at 6:37 PM It always warms my heart when I read a tribute to another. Seeing & appreciating the value in others we need more of, I think, as opposed to the opposite, which there's too much of. You've written a wonderful tribute here to your friend & it speaks volumes for you as well my friend. God bless. :) ~ Artsie Line Gauthier April 29, 2018 at 10:13 PM Thank you so much, Artsieladie, for your delightful and most appreciated visit.

Caren Krutsinger April 18, 2018 at 6:16 AM I wish someone liked me well enough to write this kind of wonderful!!!! Line Gauthier April 18, 2018 at 10:09 AM O Caren, you would be surprised. With all the lives you've impacted, I bet there are a lot more poems than you will ever know in the heart of each and every person you've helped. The ironic thing is they usually think that of course you already know.

Kyle Kriticos April 17, 2018 at 7:21 PM Absolutely beautiful extremely well wrought, Line! Line Gauthier April 17, 2018 at 9:40 PM Thank you so much, Kyle, for your much appreciated visit and comment.

Andrea Dietrich April 17, 2018 at 12:46 AM wow, what a great description of a congenial woman, Line. I need to check this contest out to see exactly what he is asking for. You really painted her personality for us to picture her.(how old is she really??) Line Gauthier April 17, 2018 at 12:58 AM I think she is 55. She was a wonderful friend, we've recently reconnected.
