Mother still at 72
Children 36 and 38
Grands at 4 and 2
Pets at 12 and 10.
Like an iceberg
Memory melting
Adrift in changing times
Wide bottom principled.
Seas swirl round
Horns pierce fog
Boats pass leery
Fish respect.
Mother still at 72
Dates to keep
Boundaries to set
Trust to feed and grow.
All rights.
