Optimistic Greenery

The world breathes deeply
Inward
Exhales in blooms of green

It saturates hope
Abundance and the world is right

Economy Improves
Wars relax
Even gas and milk is less

The world has come back to life
And proves its strength

In optimistic greenery

May 10, in memory of..

Grandma was always mint gum and Aqua Net,
A purse filled
With the pink packets of Sweet 'N' Low.

I think she still believes
That mom had named me Dear.

In her home I would've been raised
On sugar wafers and cinnamon disks,
The ones in the fancy red wrappers.

Grandma was always mint gum and Aqua Net,

Pink packets of Sweet and Low
