Dr. Larke (smile)
Truly
and honestly, I call you Dr. because your presence ushers in the Creator's
healing power. You inspire me and you have inspired our children.
She shall reveal the face of wisdom and her soul will echo the songs of
our foreparents. Rare, but so familiar is her music: the Spirituals of the
liberated and balm for the imprisoned. A sister "from way back
when" - a close acquaintance and still... good friend.
A spontaneous salute to Dr. Larke, from Ms. Jackson
