Betty Grace

Without our Betty Grace 
a seamstress of Fashion and lace 
once upon a time she lit up a room,
a starlight a beauty, a movie in your room 

As time has rolled,  meandered on the bridge of Toll governed by politicians , divisions  , conqering for the good of all .

Betty Grace RIP 

She lived  on a shoe string living in poverty
Living on a meal called pasta salt pepper and butter spaghetti
bills to pay
one meal a day
no heating to warm her elderly  bones 
she sat  all alone.
Betty Grace is her name 
Our forgotten hero x
