Kathy's Quest Poem by Robert R. Railey

Kathy's Quest



Kathy's Quest

As elegant as the butterfly, who flits about the sky, is she; and as
graceful too, as the monarch who, reigns supreme in time and space
With lips as sweet as hummingbird's beaks, like flowers from the
gardens of the Gods
With invested beauty, both inside and out, she goes throughout her day, aiding and abetting her fellow man with all of the wisdom and kindness that she endows
What better way then, to serve our Lord, than to be the person
he wishes, for when we come to our own final days wouldn't we rather
have them say that she took the time to stand there and listen, like a practicing philosopher may?
Though some might ask what's her reward for being such a
consoling figure?
The answer is simple, it's the best job in the world, by simply dressing their coiffures and nails
For without such services we'd all be mighty plain and then to whom
would we tell our woes?
For as we all know it takes true devotion to be such an expert
psychologist
Nevertheless, she knows full well that her main goal in life is just to
do what God wishes
Though when asked of her favorite story was it came as a mild shock
to me to find that she too likes to write, albeit our story lines sound differently
So it seems to me that we might have something in common, but my care and patience seem wanting, for it takes exceptional people to tolerate the egos within others
But she makes a person feel mighty grand, alright, by just listening to our
incessant ramblings
This then must mean that we'll have to propose a new award for her, won't we? And we'll call it "A best person award' for that's truly what she is; for to win this award an individual must be mighty special in all human traits and skills

An intriguing poem. I was hoping to see a poet's note so I could discover whom the poem was about.

That was my hairdresser/barber's name. I felt compelled to write something positive about her. Glad you like my work, thank you. RRR
