Thank you for the honor and your hard work.
Woman in Red
She gazes through the window pane
Daydreaming of times jeweled, in her mind
She wonders how she’s changed to find
Someone she can’t recognize in a lane
Of others who’ve become plastic
Replicas of a trend that reveres
The artificial instead of the natural seers
Who stand alone, against the flow, barbaric
In being bullied, effective in their honor
To prevail against the adamant need
To be perceived for who they are, indeed
They triumph in the end, like you and me, never poor
As we stand for values and ethics,
Beliefs that teach discipline, empower
Your self-confidence to soar
Into success without despair rooted in heretics.
