Oprah, you are always on my mind.…

I got hooked on her when she took over another
Chicago morning show
So many years ago.
She was good at the beginning then remember
It got a little trashy.
Then she saw the light, stopped competing with
The other trash going at the same time.
Love the book clubs
Love the Pjs.
Love that she took over the production
And named it Harpo.

Thought she’d get married and
I’d design her gown,
Or be the planner of her wedding
That would set me up tight in Chicagoland.
But my life and business got in the way.
She turned off the morning show
And went off on her own.
To find other things to expand on her soul
And I’d listen to see what a difference she’d make.

I’m still watching and seeing the good that she does
And hope some day we might get in touch.
Politics and the presidency could be her downfall
And I’m praying she stays out of that domain…That swamp that just doesn’t drain.
