What She Could Do

What She Could Do
Find spectacular sales
at Lord & Taylor or Sears,
Conquer big malls, calm
tired girls. Connect
over fried rice and ice cream.
Give her heart to missions.

Sew straight seams, well-selected
cloth, re-fitted
suits-smile
fitting ageless face.

Share heartfelt prayers to God,
Shakespeare's sonnets,woodsy wonder
of wildflowers. Recognize the goldfinch
or Hudson Taylor. Teach
well. Listen with love. Journal
with her strong petite hands.

-With thanks to Elizabeth Holmes
