Things I Cannot Escape

by Irene Daniel


My Cowboy Cradle hometown

An abiding faith

My love of the printed word

My historic Catholic Church

The mystic desert

The love of my true friends

My curly hair

The way that history
     so enamors me

My need for music

My love of beauty

My need for art and books

The light that shines within me

These are the things I love
