"A Living Dream"

She Sits Quietly On a Pew
Right Outside the Judge's Courtroom
With Small-Framed Glasses and Little Endearing Curls
Checking her Iphone and Peering Below the Rail
For a Client at Family Court in Need

I Come Upon Her with a Smile
A Memory of this Cheerful Being
With a Vision to Lawyer on Her Own Terms
To Help and To Empower
The Voiceless with a Voice
To Restore a Family with a Child
To Help a Woman Secure her Freedom
To Give a Grandmother her Grandchild Back

This Petite Young Woman
In a Business Suit
Sparkles with Joy
Ignites Me with Hope

She is a Little Bulb of Bright Light
A Luminary of the Law
Awakening me to See
A Piece of Me
In Her Too
And Now I Know
My Dream Will Come True

~Inspired by a 'run-in' with a little lawyer/friend in the Suffolk County Probate&Family Court last week.
