Today, Nellie Bly

 

Around the world

 your essence flows

In time you are a walking

 picture show

No white, chiffon but

 leather in place

the grace of an angel

 firmly on your face

Re-touch absurd

 never a hint of such

expertly sounding a word

 your plane meant much

Today, Nellie Bly

 we ride in your sky

As others command

 fame over this great land

Stories are written

 still we are smitten

Near, away, here or far

when the lights are out

 we see your star

. i found her ... because of you ... here ... http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Nellie_Bly ... and am so thankful to you for introducing her to me ... i must share with you a related story ... between 1992 and 1995 ... i majored in history from St. Stephen's College, Delhi University ... during that time there were some students who visited briefly from Princeton ... one of them ... Shiv ... who i knew very well ... later served in the peace corps ... but shiv was incredibly sensitive and compassionate and ended up in a psychiatric facility ... a few years later ... he passed away ... they said it was suicide but none of us believed it ... including his family ... shiv was the kind of person who wanted to change the world in a day for the better ... his family pursued the matter ... and ultimately ... his "suicide" was investigated and it turned out that he suffered a cardiac arrest because of some incorrect medication ... the medicine manufacturer and the facility had to pay ... a foundation was created ... and those funds are directed towards developmental work ... shiv's sister takes care of it ... i can't begin to tell you ... how divine this christmas is ... because you gave me a chance to say ... RIP Shiv, love you more than you know ... merry christmas, dear TTBoy ... may we be inspired and be of value to the world ...
