She made writing easy.
 
She was what I wanted to be
Free
Interesting
Female
She looked at things
And they made sense
 
In her classes we sat around a table
She made me feel smart and know that I could do things
She made me believe in myself
She let me like life.
She made writing easy
 
I’m better for knowing her
I could write about leaves if I wanted to
She made me feel smart
I liked her
She believed in me
 
Some things give reason for living
Appreciation for the word as if it is out of the mouth of God
Whatever that is
And she did
 
She let me know the beauty of Southern women
And men
