Annette Gagliardi Poet Rhyme

I Saw Her

I saw her sitting on the park bench -

A small child playing at her feet.

I saw her give her meager meal

To the youngster she thought so sweet.

I saw her kiss her child

Who came to her crying.

I saw the tears she shed

When she caught her child lying.

I saw her trade her youth

For selfless years of service.

I saw her teach the child

Throughout years of patience.

I saw her raise her dimmed eyes to see

The child she adored   -

                                              Was me.
