QUEEN ISABELLA
FULL FIVE YEARS OLD
IMPERIOUSLY DECLARED
WHILE STOMPING HER FEET
SHAKING HER FANNY
HAND ON HER HIP
IT MAY BE SO
BUT I DON’T THINK SO
ISABELLA
ISABELLA
IN ENGLISH
ELIZABETH
BOTH FROM THE HEBREW
ELISHEBA
MEANING DEVOTED TO GOD
WHEN ANYONE CALLS YOUR NAME
MAKE SURE
YOU ARE WORTHY OF THAT CALLING
YOUR NAMESAKE SAID
SEEK OUT THE UNKNOWN
MAY YOU DO ALSO
MAY THE GOD TO WHOM YOU ARE DEVOTED
FILL YOUR MIND WITH STARS AND PLANETS
MAY YOU LIVE WITH YOUR HAND GRASPING
FOR OTHER WORLDS
UNTIL YOU FIND HEAVEN
FRANK A VOLLMER
ISABELLA
GRANDDAUGHTER OF PASTOR
