Little did she know
the bright glow given this friend's
journey - Francine shines!
There is nothing
more bright in December darkness
than Francine's laughter.
small birds
sing the sweetest songs
hear our warbler, Francine!
The thing I miss most
when absent from NW meeting
is Francine's greeting.
I would honor her with good haiku,
but won't a heart-song count too?
My Haiku head just wouldn't stay traditional!
