Analysis of Life’s Graduation for Gram.

Mother has gone
Ninety six years.
Bit of COVID scare
And most everything else
Tuckered out.
She had been effervescent.
Helping Dad in
The retail business.
Raising  two boys.
Leading women often in
Special events.
Golf and curling club.
Hit a hole in one.
Lots of laughs.
Just call Bev.
She’ll have some good ideas.
Pleasant singing voice
And given to poems.
But latterly she would tire
After I finished two sentences
In some family news.
Who was this distant
And detached woman?
Fiddling with her cuffs.
Carrying on twelve years
After Jack’s demise.
Her Everloving.
Big man, big voice, big heart..
A friend remarked at the funeral.
Bev and Jack will be
Shooting nine holes and laughing.
Up there.
We liked that.
Amen.
