poems 2 rock your soul by Oprah Winfrey

standing on the
fresh-cut lawn
at the house in
montecito watching
my assistant
throw the ball for
sadie
as the sun sets
over the
pacific
and my
gardeners trim
the hedges
water the roses
and my stylist
rushes the new
color swatches
into the
house and my other
assistant brings
me a bowl of
fresh blueberries
to snack on
compliments of
my personal chef

the phone rings
once
and my assistant
hands it to me
and it’s gayle
who tells me that
her assistant
will be assisting me
in finding a new
assistant who can
help me find
a life coach who will
help me understand
creative and
empowering ways
to manage this
major life change
and live fearlessly
in the moment
