Newsletter for the World of Word by Elias Tobias
Patty Hall
Another month has gone by and this new revised version of the World of World is two months old, officially. In the development of the blog several months before the launch, I continued the program established with the older Web site of the Poem of the Month. This month’s Poem of the Month is “One Woman is Enough for Me”. The poem was written for Patty, my wife in December, 21, 1995 and revised five days later. We were married July 17, 1993. Putting up with me is not easy. I can be my own worst enemy. We still have dinner dates, since both of us are very busy in our jobs.
This is from the Laredo Morning Times: Patricia J. Hall, project director for Arbor E&T in Laredo, has been named the Women in Business Champion of the Year by the San Antonio District Office of the U.S. Small Business Administration.
“This is the time to recognize the most outstanding men and women for their achievements and business success and those who support and champion small business,” stated District Director Pamela Sapia.
A native of Richmond, Ind., Hall has been in Texas since 1993. She has been involved in workforce development for more than 10 years. She began her career as a case manager with what then the Department of Human Services with the Texas Workforce Commission in Brownsville. In January of 2004, Hall was assigned to help get a new director for the Laredo Texas Workforce Center for her employer and was offered the position.
Arbor E&T, the national company Hall works for, has contracts with the South Texas Workforce Development Board to run the workforce center as well as to run childcare services in a three-county area: Jim Hogg, Webb and Zapata. Hall is in charge of both contracts.
Winners will be celebrated at a special luncheon in May in San Antonio.
Poem of the Month
One woman is enough for me
One woman is enough for me.
One woman is enough for me.
Being with another is an impossibility.
My surrender sets me free
One woman is enough for me.
One woman is enough for me.
She’s the pop in my corn,
the honk from my horn
the gee in my whiz, and
the only woman I’ll kiss.
One woman is enough for me.
One woman is enough for me.
Being with another is an impossibility.
My surrender sets me free
One woman is enough for me.
One woman is enough for me.
She’s the tutti in my fruiti,
and the smile in my heart
that will never part.
One woman is enough for me.
One woman is enough for me.
One woman is enough for me.
Being with another is an impossibility.
My surrender sets me free
One woman is enough for me.
