Barbara Gorelick Poet Acrostic

Mollie

My mother, a simple life, a simple face
Old before her time, overworked and burdened
Living a life she never complained about,
Lightening our load while bearing hers
Innocent, free of envy, malice or regrets
Every year, her rose blooms again in spring





note: for some reason I cannot bold the first letters..sorry

Andrea Dietrich April 5, 2015 at 9:14 PM Barbara, glad you won without the letters bolded because this is so sweet. Congratulations. (do you know that you have to put the symbol for bolding around each and every first letter of each line?) I was glad my mom's name was so short!
