An unlikely trip holds it trick
Many won't dare a kick
An uneven day holds its pick
Many won't dare the thick
So we savour an apple
leaving out a grape
And we yearn
So we tire in earnest
dreading all the miles
But we yearn
There is an Anne to watch
who be show but steel
She made the trip
Crisis zones had their Christ
weary souls their Prophets
Kids in streets sans kits
Hate by rote sans rites
She sees right in rights
will write it for might
Then the call...a call
round the world, half a world away
Then the chat...a chat
all the way, half a world away
This is the business of love
a show...a trick... and its pick
Trust her to have a ball of all
and all balls, both in play...and thrill
It is her day. All hail
My humble tribute to an Australian soul who plunged her good heart into development and charity work, including to North Africa. She would not be scared or deterred. Not by colour. Not by creed. What a soul, these days!
Christine Ann Hogan....celebrated veteran journalist, writer, public speaker, gender and youth crusader, lover of all tongues, and more...
All hail my friend!
