For Ani Pema

Dog questions answered,
Tsog offered, and friendship shared--
Thanks, Dr. Pema.

For Holly

Woman of myst'ry
flits like a butterfly to
Dakar. I'll miss you!

For Noreen

Noreen, fourth sister,
Loves to laugh. She laughs with me,
My sister, Noreen.

Time

Years flow like river
Past our feet, but memories
Stay alive in us.

For a Best Friend

One hundred thousand
Million minutes of your
Friendship... And counting.
