For Laura
“Did you just pop out
Of your mother –
Such a Live
And Caring Wire,
Or did you
Get struck
By lightning?”
I asked.
“You should see me
When I’m grumpy!”
You replied.
I met you in church
With your smiling hand,
And that speck of gold
Gleaming on your face.
Seems to me
Like you’re
Pretty well connected.
Even when you
Blow a fuse,
I know –
Some Power
Somewhere…
Will always keep
You protected!
