she lives in oregon with her husband and her son
when i first saw and heard her
she was singing a soulful song
i felt so relieved
the big tears rolled down both my cheeks
i knew that i had made it home
i have a new friend. her name is martha
just like so many other women in my life
this martha is a doer, she is a portrait painter
blending her poetry with the music grown from her heart. i am reminded of my other martha's
my mothers name is martha
which is my step mom's name
and my sister's name is martha
we call my niece the very same
the very same martha
i have a new friend. her name is martha
just like so many other strong woman that i love
this martha is a dreamer, an expansive thinker
ingests ideas whole, the hook, the line, the sinker
i am reminded of my other martha's
