Loving Our Leaders
©2009 by Alice Walker
For Beverly
I find I am loving
Our leaders
Unconditionally
As I know
I am
Loved
Myself.
I love him
I love her
I love the girls
The grandmother
The friends
& deceased
Grandparents
& ancestors:
I especially
Love
The
Dog. And would hope
For him
Soon
A cat.
They
Are us
You know,
Our leaders;
Finally
Leading
Ourselves
As us:
Who we really
Are:
More perfect
For
Our imperfections:
Unconditionally
& forever
Loved
Human beings.
