The Dragon and I

for Mnemie

I was but a child when you came.
My family thought I was insane;
To be speaking out loud
To talk to the clouds
To nothing-no Oone, so it seemed.

I loved you the instant you appeared,
And held Me as though I was dear.
I remember your smile
Helping Me all the while.
Those memories still move Me to tears.

Everyone had their animadvert words.
She's a geek, She's crazy; a Nerd.
Ger Her some help
Before She hurts Herself!
They were clueless as to all I had learned.

You've taught Me so much, over the years.
You've helped Me to face My fears.
I'm grateful for you.
You always come through.
I'll cherish you forever, My dear.
