Tribute to Greenhill, Tina Twito and Linda Johnson
some may scoff at this will-ingness
to cast off free will, man as author and lord
my life has been touched by Jesus
I came kicking and screaming; yet when I gave in
my heart began to open to the best in us
had I stayed closed to all who hate sharing
I would not have sampled Greenhill's love, wisdom ... recipes
Gotten to explore her ever-new topics, a-creating
had I not widened my horizon to include Emily
(Dickinson - that is) I may never have met Tina Twito
Her name, her words, her angels are made beautifully
had I not left socialist tracts aside, delved into wordsmithery
I may not have met the Vitamin Lady-- Lady of my Word, my Sword, my Lord
She is Linda Johnson, who wields all of these ... deftly, lovingly
Thank you my trinity of ladies here on AC
for the joy you bring to me and my writing
you encourage, forgive my absences, offer love to (almost!) anybody!
