Ms. Lemons can do
whatever she sets out to do.
And one day,
I’ll say her name perfectly.
Her smile—and her wit—
make it clear:
her wisdom surpasses most.
But she would never boast.
She could arm wrestle an octopus—
effortlessly—
and if needed,
she could talk someone down
from the edge
of a very tall building.
For this—
for her,
and her beautiful soul—
we are grateful.
