| MOM at Idlewild Park, 2004 |
To the drunk fool who recently
called my mother an old hag.
She is not!
She is a small child born in the great depression,
playing with dolls and dressing up,
eager to attend school along with her big sisters.
She is a good student,
soaking in knowledge to carry her through life.
She is buying
licorice lollipops when she hears of the attack on Pearl Harbor. She is scared.
She is a teenager seeking
mischief and love.
She is a school teacher, engaged to a promising engineer.
She loves long hikes,
canoe trips and sailing.
She is a loving mother of two, teaching them all she knows.
She is a Pirate fan, taking her kids to games,
cheering them onto championships.
She is loyal n loving as her teens turn to rock n roll, parties n trouble.

She is sad as she abruptly becomes a widow.
She is a loving Grandma helping n watching them grow.
She is tired and angry that she can no longer do what she is used to.
She cannot wait til her grandkids come over and tell of their day at Kennywood or a camping trip.
She's my Mom! She is not an old hag!
