My mother, may she finally be at peace.


Poem Artwork

She was my mother
Very beautiful
Always looked older
Than what she was

She was a excellent cook
Was always baking
Something
I remember licking the beaters

When she was a child
She had lived close
To an airport
Had a passion to fly

When she had gotten
Older
She wrote letters
Trying to fly in a navy jet

Many got tossed into
The waste basket
Eventually she did get
To fly...early sixties

She even received
A pair of wings
Which I have now
Never give up on your dreams
