I wrote this poem for a dear friend of mine whose life is a beautiful example of simplicity & selfless love--one of those rare souls whose sole existence inspires the best in those around her. Now she lies in bed unable to move her left side of the body & unable to speak after a stroke. Still, she smiles & her miraculously young-looking expression bespeaks her inner beauty & the strength she has gained from the principles of simplicity & selfless love which have been the guiding lights of her life. I love you, Maggie MacCauliffe.
