AN ODE FOR YOU
Each month, I’ll share a few lines inspired by the incredible women I meet, featuring both my own work and their special contributions for you to enjoy!
JANUARY 2025-
THIS ONE IS ABOUT JOY
JOY WITHIN
Joy. So bountiful, deep, overflowing
Constant and intense
Steady, everlasting
Untouched by the out world
Joy overcomes
It’s the song that moves you
To dance in the storm
Joy most peaceful, for you I reach
Hopefully in-adept
I fumble and I reach
I search in the out world
Still Joy eludes me
But now it is obvious
I must reach within me
