ATTMAC
By Steve Baba


A thousand courages

Could not equal this

One strongest soul.

A brilliant light

In the sky that

Leads the way.

Yet fragile of mind,

Love and compassion

Are her most

Incomparable traits.



I remember

A winter long ago,

The withered stems

Of the rose bush bluntly

Poking towards the skies.

But what made me cry

Was that one deep

Red rose that was

In full bloom

And still alive.
