Charlotte Betts Poem
When you die
You are gone
It's goodbye
No one stays
On this earth
For all days
It is said
Past is past
Dead is dead
Done is done
And for whom?
Everyone
You won't know
When it's your
Time to go
Need I say?
That's the world
That's the way
That's the trade
That's the rule
No one made
So come on
Live your life
'Fore it's gone

Charlotte Betts Poem
I hope that you're somewhere a daughter can find you
I hope that it's near enough, warm enough, sweeter
these nights I could handle with you as my candle
I hope that your laugh still leaves ripples behind you
so I can still feel them whenever it's raining
and follow the path that had always aligned you
with all mighty mothers with such mighty shoulders
and God, how the weight of it all can remind you
that motherhood dwells in the wings of the theater
with you as my candle these nights I could handle
I'll find my own light although no flame outshined you
