With more than 25 years
of journalism under my belt,
I never once got honored
at a luncheon
the way she did with
only six months.
Can't image what magic she possess
to get so many to
love her like this,
what gifts does she
possess that draws
these people to her,
what do they want by given her such accolades,
yet, here in this library in this school
where we have come so
she can inform others
how
she does what she does,
the feeling grows,
people looking at her
in the way
I've not seen people look at anyone,
except maybe for some
home coming queen
who has left her mark on the world beyond,
like a movie star or
a sports hero,
which she is neither,
born elsewhere among
a whole different
kind of people,
even there, back when
she was student,
teachers treated her
differently,
sensing perhaps
something
in her that really is special.
