Her name was Tina

Contributed by ki on Thursday, 6th March 2008 @ 12:24:01 AM in AEST
Topic: StoryPoetry

I woke up that morning
With only confusion in my head
Gratefull to be alive and well
But still with a heavy heart
How depressing
That horrendous hotel wall paper
But it was a place to call home
If only for the moment
I showered and dressed
Woke my husband to do the same
We ate breakfast quickly
And began our day
Stepped out into the morning
The cold November air
Expertly mimicked our feelings
Grey,and bleak
Walked acrross the street
To check for any mail
Thats when we first saw her
She was tall,very tall
Standing beside our friend Mo'nique
As we approached
The 2 women in mid conversation
I realized,I really didn't know her
I still remember my very first thought
My God,she was beautiful!
And put together very well
Like a puzzle where the pieces don't come apart
Intrigued by this woman
I knew nothing about
And moments after introductions were made
I learned her name was Tina
A woman I'd have never known
If certain events never took place
It was an apartment fire
And a new beginning for us all
At the time I was 21,my husband only 18
We lost everything we had
Tina had just came from,
The tradgedy of Katrina
We all lived
In the same building
The one that now lay in a pile
Of wood and smokey dust
This angel that we didn't know
Now took us under her broken wing
She was the calm after the storm
And never afraid of tears
To me,amazing she will always be
Courage of a lions' heart
The mother of 3 children
A warrior that never quits
It's been 3 years now
Over time and schedule conflicts
The bond has slowly faded
But the love is always there
And if she were to ever read this
I would want her to know 1 thing:
Tina,I can fly now
And I will always extend my wings to you
