She had a mind for numbers (not just
one and two and three),
In a time when studied women had to
study secretly.
If she could not travel into time,
ahead of it she'd see.
It's too bad that her doctor was not
half as smart as she.
Another, shortly after, found that her
gift was in words.
She could make the language crash, or
she could make it purr.
Though hardly known in her time, to her
work we now defer,
and she may not have stopped for death,
but He did stop for her.
A man was born to great dimensions
whose fire would not let him rest.
There was nothing that could stop him,
not in hundreds of contests.
He took on every challenger. He was
the only champion left,
But even he, more large than life, was
weaker still than death.
