Her Essence
her essence floated into a room gleefully
knowing she would relate to the majority
with super listening power she held them raptured
here she is they thought not collectively
but rather one at a time,
feeling she was their own personal best therapist
she was a maestro at giving each an individual audience
going from one to another,
acknowledging their feelings, honoring them with her attention.
once gone, they realized what a gift she had been
always urging them to take the high road
to do the right thing, no matter who was there to see
Some strived to be more like her,
but most fell a little short
for she had the essence of an angel
and the listening power of a beloved puppy.
