Background: Prema is one of the wisest women I know. Her hugs are legendary, and her encouragement is heartfelt. I’m honoured to have written this for her.

For Prema

The poise of a woodland doe
Brings you front row in my mind
Ever gentle, ever graceful.

With eyes sparkling the wisdom of years
And arms embracing a weary heart
You are an olive tree, a cosy haven.

Blessed is she whom you gaze upon
For you listen to her heartbeat
And your whispers kindle the fire in her soul.
