Caring, loyal, sweet and hilarious;

Situations, relentlessly precarious.

Curly hair, and big blue eyes,

Straightened teeth, a clever disguise;

Overweight, but with fine sense of style;

Ever an old soul, worth your while;

Poet, photographer, and learner of watercolor;

A firm believer in the importance of butter;

Woman, daughter, sister, wife,

Friend, guitarist, enamored by life,

Singer, artist, Jesus lover,

Language enthusiast, food preparer;

Infertile, adoptive, mother of one;

Baker of sorts, but only for fun;

English major, Spanish minor,

Unpublished author, teacher, refiner;

Mentor; honest, sarcastic, and smart;

All contained in this small-town heart.
