Brittany

by J. Allen Wilson — Read all 1,629 poems by J. Allen Wilson

Today was a special day when we went to Logan’s Roadhouse. Not only did we go to meet and get to know Allen’s grand-daughter Maranda’s new boy-friend Cody, but we met a young lady who we have not had the pleasure to meet before. She knew all about us and have read many of Allen’s poetry of our Logan’s family, so today is her day to shine. - Jan

Poem Artwork

Brittany-

Yeah though she is just 20.
Brittany has lived life and seen plenty.
Her dad left when she was just 10.
Yet the Army discipline of her mother kicked in.

When questioned most young people have not a clue in what direction in life they want to take.
Yet of all the people of our family at Logan’s,
Brittany has her course set.

She has her vision set high above the clouds.
She sees the stars and the moon.

Dreams abound,
A bright future comes within her sight and sound.
No doom, no gloom.
Just a glowing personae, an aura doth loom.

I see her tomorrow in my minds eye.
I see a young woman whose limit reaches beyond the sky.

Seldom say I, this of young people this day.
Yet think now this of Brittany and you shall see a shinning star come soon in the twilight of the day.

Remarkable…oh so seldom seen.
This is not only an accolade to Brittney,
But also her mother who raised her daughter to be all that she can be.

Reads like quite a future ahead. I couldn't help being reminded of a high school classmate. One of only two that became a medical doctor, a surgeon, and is now retired in Florida. He never knew his father, killed in World War II. His mother was a dentist's secretary, but Jim was a go-getter from start and whenever there was a contest to do something like sell things door-to-door, he outdid everybody else by 10 to 1.
