One Of The Literary Unsung

Not even known to many on her side of the town
And she feels no desire for any literary renown
Though she is a fine poetess for to give to her what is her due
And to her higher self she is one who is true

Though unsung perhaps the best poet in the town today
For her poems are quite memorable in truth one can say
In her late fifties without a partner she was never anyone's wife
And without any children she lives a single life

A woman who is ageing in the natural way
In her brown shoulder length hair she does have some gray
For her age quite attractive she seems rather shy
And to live as a good person her best she does try

As a State registered nurse she earns her living pay
One quite kind and caring she helps people every day
In her spare time she writes poetry some blank verse and rhyme
And many of her poems will stand the test of time

For one of fifty seven she looks rather young
An under-rated poet one of the literary unsung
Her own praises you will never hear her sing
Though in her kindness and her work joy to others she does bring.
