| For Sheila Wherever You Are |
| Universal childless mother With your vacant womb Embracing those hurt by love Soothing their agony Then moving on Seeking the next one To fulfill your promise To heal loves casualties Your mission to cure To lift away their affliction Without condition or restriction Then moving on Hours spent in smoke filled cafés Sharing your poetry with me And me, mine with you Removing focus from the hurt Anesthetizing the pain Sweet Sheila my dear fried Have you fulfilled your destiny yet You are one of those jewels That fall into our hands Gladly but unexpectedly While on the road of life We inspect the fire And stare in awe at the color Then return it with thanks I've never tried to find you again But you shine bright In my memories cache What more can I ask From a memory so strong Of a meeting so brief Thank you for having me As one of your children I love you |
