Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required She crossed a wide ocean, during war times, in danger A life of adventure, of courage, of fear Yet, nothing reveals the hint of the years that have chiseled her wrinkles, but not dampened her cheer She pours me some tea, we relax in the shade Cool on the porch of a summertime day Honeysuckle vines circle the posts, Spider-webs glisten, hosts offer a toast. She chatters nonchalantly, so glib on the tongue, Of a war and the journey that left her alone To her, all these stories, are quite ordinary, I cling to each word, but she's here to assure me A true-life adventure. Inside the house, the counter is a clutter, piled high with dishes The old floor is sticky, and dog hair floats in prisms of light One old hound sleeps in the middle of the worn kitchen rug. Another lame Labrador laps water from a pie tin, dripping water from his sloppy face across the peeling checkered floor. Throughout the house, a lingering musky smell of well loved pets, and a stale, smoky odor of burnt toast from her attempt at breakfast. Servants, cooks, gardeners, part of a long ago past. The house is filled with dust covered, belongings History fills each corner to mingle, along with the dust motes that linger in air Junk mail, newspapers, dog treats, documents and clippings prized antiques and artifacts, ......just facts of life, from how she sees them On every shelf, and on the walls, are sepia-hued photographs Famous faces I have seen, on the news, and on the screen A handsome young man, and she was his bride A commander when the world took sides She followed him to the ends of the earth. And soon will gladly follow him to the grave I sit here now,...with this woman of many lives. Like one of the flowers on her porch, she wears a tattered, splattered dress. Today, she is a homespun, country widow. An extraordinary woman, this grand Duchess, yet now who bears traits of Ma Kettle She brought class, dignity, and a wealth of knowledge to our small country neighborhood,....... to my life. Here we are, together, so far from the world she once knew. We sit in the shade of her covered porch A long haired, grey cat jumps into her lap. Under the veil of a summer day I pour her another cup of tea, and a little more for myself. Tea is served, flavored with lemon....I have much more to drink in.....to savor. ________________________________________________________ A True Character....dear /Friend/and Neighbor (Kathleen Maitland) now deceased Whose husband was an aviation pioneer The most amazing couple I have ever known http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lester_J._Maitland Revised 10/21/14
