She picked for me
Joy…
Does she know
She is a goddess?
Does she know
That she intuitively
Picked what I needed
Today,
Right here
Right now?
Can she know
If I tell her
How special she is?
She's a genius.
Does she know
That she is my joy?
That right now
Right here
Is my Joy
To write
To connect
With her
And everyone else
In the room…
That she
And she alone
Has the power
To make me happy
To honor me
With her words
That my life
And poetry
Isn't a waste
Because it
Or I may have
Inspired her
To come up
To this mic
And speak
For the first time
Her poetry…
I have Joy
I have hope
And her name
If I can introduce her
To the mic
And all the power
It represents
To her and I
Carissa.
