Here is a poem I wrote in 1991 – A Summer Story
Many of my pieces have weather conditions as a theme.
Do any of you often focus on weather in your work, too?
**
A Summer Story
I am very small
In a summer storm
cradled on my father’s lap
moving back and forth
rocking in a chair
lightening flashes
rain glazes my view
I am filled with fearful thoughts.
“Do not be afraid,” he says
I ask “Can we take the new refrigerator
with us when we die?”
“No!” he replied
“We can take nothing with us
but our love.”
I saw him once again
after his death,
my granddaughter in his lap.
