THANK YOU, LADY poem
by Richard L. Provencher

Thank You, Lady

Kiss her cheek, I kissed
her cheek
a small thank
you for the 'baby tears'
for my wife.
"A gift for her,"
she said
"for Christmas, I want to thank you
for your kindness."

She's a happy lady, that
old woman in a Home for the Aged,
she has simple pleasures and
her appreciation is great.

For one brief moment my lips
touched her cheek
that soft wrinkled flesh,
for one brief moment
I was her son.

Thank you, lady.
