Dear Shirley, Earth Angel:

Community College sounds fine and dandy to me. I am tired of people raining on your parade, Shirley, criticizing you- tired of it. Let Shirley Be, I say! Take your criticism to the person looking back at you in the mirror and leave Shirley alone!

I like this:

Let this Earth Angel unfurl her wings, awaken the fire in her heart and light up the world with her authentic voice.

For as long as I’m still breathing, and my mind keeps thinking, this Earth Angel is going to follow her heart home1

No, I don’t like this. I love it!
