Naomi

Deepened feelings
saddened faces
lost success
in lonely places

a winner’s mood
in far off spaces
humility
and youthful graces

it is her time
achievement fated
from childhood
for this she’s waited

emotion lost
emotion found
fifteen thousand
in the round

a trophy – heavy –
hard to carry
ergo will do well
to tarry

what may come
may go too soon
enjoy the now
and reach your ‘moon’

selfish people –
hidden faces
leave them behind
and their disgraces

build humility
and humour
your voice makes fun
of those who clamour

shy away
from featured faces
relish in
your wiser graces

perceptiveness –
we prey you thrive –
you make this game
come alive
