Diane


is her middle name

but she doesn't like to be called by it
and it makes me wonder how many times
we don't like the things about ourselves
that we cannot change for who can add
to his measure an inch just by thinking
about it but God can add to our soul a
fire so rich so free and so true that
it is never embarrassing to see the real
you because you are just real after all
all flesh is grass and what is in a name
anyway but letters in an alphabet Lynn
is as beautiful as the sun and i love
her for who she is even if it is her
middle name
