Courage isn’t a commodity valued by her,
Thinks out of a box,
Cares deeply,
All the time,
When I miss her like today,
I worry more now,
ER secretary,
Works seven pm to three,
Mery one on Waterloo takes her for granted,
Tried to get this Iowan to quit,
This rare Penny know no meaning to the word Quit!
Since fourteen she has carried the family load,
After many hardships and pain unimaginable she stands,
No break,
Had to tow the HR’s requirements after placed on temporary disability this summer,
She’s a senior,
No Other Secretary at the Catholic Hopspitale had to comply to regain the right to work there after fifteen years,
They took her complied sick leave ,
Her crime after a hip surgery after five years working on a cane Penny asked to work on her walker,
That placed her on temporary disability,
In twenty-twenty one she had Covid twice while working,
People would walk away from her in her uniform,
Thus summer she git it again,
HR had her take a four hour test,
The test factory injured workers take time qualifying to return to work.
Penny past,
She was sent a bill for several thousand,
Workman’s Comp refused to pay it,
Penny could not pay it,
Where’s Iowa Aging Community advocate?
Called back to work barely over Covid for third time,
Sunday since no metal detector in the Catholic Hospital father of a dead.baby pulled a loaded gun on a nurse,
Penny push the.nurse out of the way,
My.hero,
Mt friend,
My adipted.little sister,
Penny!
