Loyal and loving
Brandy is patient
Waiting, worrying
The enemy relentless
The Warrior weary
Today’s battle over

For Leslie’s return
She smiles, then sleeps
And Brandy weeps
My hero and inspiration is my daughter-in-law, Leslie — her reluctant co-star, Brandy. Thanks to Michael Stalcup for his wonderful poem and prompt, “Soap”. Thanks also to our host, Kathy Jacobs, and to the entire Chalkboard team!
