Tess

I thought it was time to write another poem

Honoring a person I met here at my Harbor Tower home

She wears her hair long and has a wonderful smile

People are drawn to her by her friendly style

Always willing to help others, she has this special gift

A friend in need, there to give another a consoling uplift

Is it possible she is a Faerie all dressed in purple with wings

She heals those who are down with what her presence brings

Her thoughtfulness has helped so many, from what I heard

It was brought to my attention by a wise old honey bird

I didn't even know she was in my class at school

She's the same age as I am, now isn't that so cool

I let the other Classmates know that she is here

Many remembered this special woman who is so dear

You'll often see her sitting in the back

She likes to have fun, which is her knack

What is life without having some fun

Time here goes fast and our life is done

If you see this woman with the long hair, glasses and smile

Take the time to sit down and visit with her awhile

Inside her lives a wonderful soul

Someone like her is always good to know

Tess, I think everyone should be honored for what they give

to this world. For this poem I picked you. I think nobody

should go unnoticed, or unappreciated. Everyone is special

in their own way. Keep on being who you are my friend.
