I happened upon the picture
of the two of them
smiling
She dyed her hair then
back before
she broke her hip
It was the look in her eye
that caught mine
She was there
The picture was taken
when she was still here

Now, my friend,


this...is poetry, and what
real poetry is all about...

it is really never about us
until we bring those we love
into the real picture.

JL, Jerry, Karilea, ice,
I can't thank you enough for your warm  and gernerous response to this piece. Found the picture last night and it brought tears to my eyes and I wrote these words.

Thank you,
Lori
