A Perfect Heroine Poem by Margaret Alice

Writing a story about
a sweet person, looking
at my friend Carolyn,
she is my model - her
wide-eyed innocence
and trust is the basis
for my heroine, her
loving attitude to her
recalcitrant husband
and all his moods, her
kindness and generous
disposition; she is the
sweet person who loves
and sacrifices so much
in my story, so open in
sharing her ideas and
ideals; I never asked
her permission to depict
her; why should I need
an angel’s authorization
to describe her inner beauty;
I love meeting people who
smile and float about
like angels on earth;
I love seeing the shine
of their aura when I’m
with them; I love Carolyn
for being a perfect heroine!
