Subject(s): Mothers & Sons
That was the front door I heard gently closing.
The book is shut. I have been dozing.
Quiet. Slip into bed. The dawn is rosy.
Would anyone have thought I should be nosey?
Pull up the blanket. Frost's white airy fingers
Are in my hair, yet understanding lingers
In my heart. Ho hum, some memories are very nice,
And I have not forgotten. Let that suffice.
