Famous Helens
by Debi Pick Marquette
Each of these famous Helens here
A life important and so full
But Helen that we all hold dear
Must surely have the kindest soul
She’ll post a poem, including prayer
And tells us why they are in need
Encouraging others to care
That’s how our Helen plants a seed
She grew up in Hawaii state
Her major in college, Russian
Computing job when graduate
Taught English second language, then
Two daughters and her special Hon
They're from the US western coast
Two granddaughters and one grandson
A grandma with just the right boast
We know her heart, and not her face
And see where her compassion lives
But most here in our worldwide space
We feel the love she always gives
Her interviews with such rapport
And for her monthly birthday prose
For Helen who we're thankful for
Respect and friendship grows and grows
Your sweet demeanor lights the way
You're best of the Helen bouquet
Patch even joined us here to say
Hope yours was a Happy Birthday

These tribute poems are written in appreciation to friends who have been kind enough to frequently review me, even though I cannot always review back as much as I would like. For eyes and health reasons my screen time is limited, and this is my way of saying thank you.
