Poetry ~ Cabbage After Christmas

📚📚📚

Bartlett’s Quotations

gift from my mother…

who may have sensed

somewhere in the dark

recesses of cluttered heart

that someday I’d write

a million words she’d

never care to read–

~~*~~

And did She know…

my perfectly well-mannered

dignified grandmother

of very few words

(lest she be chastized

by my mother)…

did she suspect I’d be

the only grandchild who’d

hear the Lord’s voice

and follow His call?

she gave me the white

bible with Jesus’ words

in red letters–

I miss the time

the conversations we

were robbed of by

her jealous daughter–

but this I know

she waits for me, and

we’ll have all eternity–

~ Cale
