Saturday
I will be traveling with Deangelo and Angelo to Chuluota (near
Orlando, FL) to place flowers on Kathy's grave (my wife died last
October). We will have a short ceremony including prayer, some
remembrances, and the reading of the following poem which I wrote for the
occasion.
With
Angelic Grace
“Sweetness
and Light”
(Like
“Motherhood and Apple Pie”)
Was
a phrase made fun of when I was in school
Everyone
rolled their eyes in rejection
And
disgust,
And
felt themselves much superior to the humble and inferior.
But time can be unkind to hatred (however dressed)
Making
it slip away into the mist,
With
time eventually Kathy came into our lives
And
bound us to belief in the power of affection
For
me a wife, for several a mother, for all a friend
With
kind words, thoughts, and deeds,
Kathy
quietly reset reality
With
angelic grace.
