My Second Mom
Tall,
gangly,
red-hair &
freckles,
loud, laughing,
big-boned,
athletic --
one glance
could confirm
no common blood
between us
(If she had a totem, it was
a giraffe -- while mine
might be a field mouse)
Often embarrassed, but
rarely outdone (she could sing,
belch & blush with the best
of them)
Beating the neighborhood boys
at football in the street (for
none
could fathom how to block a
lady)
Life wasn’t always kind,
but she was
(without exception)
Beautiful - I want to give her and you a hug.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh... thanks, Mosk! Hugs accepted -- for both of us! She was a truly amazing lady, and she's greatly missed. :-] Glad you enjoyed spending time with her. :-)
