Dolores

AKA the saint from Arichat Devoted wife to Johnny Beloved mother and grand-mother Kindness exuding from every pore A smile and kind word for everyone Lover of family reunions Any reason for a card game or party Prize-winning baker of pies galore Apple, date, blueberry, custard Raisin, strawberry, lemon meringue Date cookies and tea biscuits Homemade bread and buns Even made the best baked beans Last rites given three times The Lord finally couldn’t wait And gently took her As we recall those open arms and warmest hugs We get that little taste of the welcome Awaiting us when our turn comes To knock at heaven’s gate AP: Honorable Mention 2020 Posted on February 4, 2018
