Giver of Life
GIVER OF LIFE
Her damp books in boxes,
Lovingly dried and pressed
At home on new shelves
Survivor sparrow
One-legged from cat attack,
Nurtured in a shoe box with crumbs.
Pensioner hamster
Superfluous to school pet-needs,
Straw-warmed in the garage.
Kids from beer-bottle bedrooms
On the periphery of love,
Made central again.
A homeless home where misfits fit.
Where she laughs lightly,
New life is breathed.
