Amy B

She stands short, not much higher than five foot- zero
But don't let them blue eyes fool you
She can be feisty
Ask the girl in the Burger King window

She isn't smart the same way others are smart.
Spelling, grammar, math
She may struggle
This shouldn't leave a persons' value
A pile of rubble

Roads,
Find a bridge, a town
She has been to before
How they all interconnect with one another
In her head - it's one big encore

This skill relates to
Other life matters
Map them like a street
A mental obstacle now beat
Putting together American History
How and where
The Confederacy would meet
Pieces leading to their defeat

Need help finding the remote
In a pile of clutter?
She can pick it out
In a moment,
Before I could studder.
She can find that needle
In a haystack
Dig it out,
Give it back.

A loyalty wired deep
She would derail a freight train
If she couldn't
Then trade places and pain
With only one small umbrella to share
I would be dry in the rain

Like any human being
She is blessed with faults
If you look much past
You may see a valued vault
