You are my memory of Seattle,
From atop the Space Needle,
Down the Pike Place Market,
Round aboard the Great Wheel,
You are the moment to cherish:
It is your elegance and sense of humor.
Leadership immersion at UW,
For me, it was for the meeting of you.
From the salutation hug,
I got hooked once again;
Or, I should say, like never before—
Twelve years later.
Reminiscing about the days we worked together,
You, always immaculately dressed,
Exuding passion for the profession.
I had never met a nurse better dressed,
And well put together.
You see, back then,
Because I suffered from an inattentional blindness
Today, I live in its prognostic reality of wishfulness.
