I am horrible at real names.
But can remember a nickname.
So she called herself Ginger Five,
So I wouldn’t forget her.
And unbeknownst to me
She drew me.
And here I am
By someone else.
When she said goodbye
She gave me me.
I thought she did an amazing job.
I thought it some kind of sign from the universe.
And it made me very happy.
Thank you very much,
Ginger Five.
It also reminds me
We are being observed
Even when we have no idea anyone is intrigued enough to look.
Nice sketch! That was very sweet of her.

Right? I was so surprised. We all kind of knew she was sketching, my friend asked her what she was doing but I don’t remember her answering. I assumed it was for school or something. Then she showed me as she was leaving. I was so touched. 😉

So special to receive. How others perceive us. My nickname from Pop Penguin is Ginger, have no idea why, I don’t have red hair, but had it for as long as I can remember. This made me smile. ❤️
