Her nameplate ajar on the maple tree
Lone tire tracks fade into the snow
Up the long drive
To the empty house
On top of the knoll
For Sale sign at the road
It has been 2 years now
She is a spitfire
A spunky 92 year-old beauty
Becomes frail, weak
Colonoscopy is done
Large ulcerating mass
Daughter sheds a quiet tear
She takes her daughter’s hand
Smiles-full of memories and love
“Let’s go home now, dear.”
“Let’s go home.”
