_Lady in Waiting_

She was the kind
 That would be asked to keep score While the others played.

In the beach,
 She would be the one Guarding the clothes and footwear, While the
rest of the gang lapped the waves.

It was not as if she was a hanger on
 Or that she did not like To join the general
laughter; It was just that By the time she started to laugh The joke had changed,
And was on her;

She had inherited
 That gene of goodness, The building block Of waiting and watching.

Some day,
 She will inherit the earth.
