Here is another piece of work from my mom. This short poem is great. personally, i think her stuff just keeps getting better and better. The efficiency of this poem is incredible. With only 11 lines she paints a vivid picture. Check it out!!!
It Now Takes Two
Holding hands they walked across the parking lot with a slow and measured gait.
He shuffled over asphalt, cowboy boots clicking in a muted rhythm, his straw brimmed hat sitting tall.
Her steps were slow and measured just like his.
The task of buying groceries is now a task for two.
He’ll push the cart and she will read the labels.
Each knows their partner well, but neither sees the other as a burden or a weight.
One fits the other’s niche and in the blend they’ve created harmony.
It now takes two to do what once took one.
They’ve been a team for many years in the harness side by side.
Still his hand is what she seeks and what she wants in spite of age.
How nice to see they’ve grown together and not apart.
