Weave the Web

Ah, the peanut butter and Corn Flake cookies she used to make! 

They were always in that brown wooden breadbox where I could easily take!

 

I would bring them to her covered patio and watch the boats go by! 

She used to come out with her Camel cigarettes, and I would watch the smoke fly!

 

She would lick those ruby red lips until they were dry!

Sometimes she made me laugh so hard, I wanted to cry!

 

I remember her white shiny hair that was so bright

It looked like the moon on a dark warm night!

 

And on Sunday afternoons, she would sit in her chair

And watch the Skins game on TV with such a glare.

 

My sisters and I would lie on the floor

And play some of those games that were in her drawer!

 

We would laugh when she yelled at Larry and Mom.

I can remember her words, “No really that’s absurd.”

 

I will hold these memories and much much more

Forever and ever and tell my kids galore!

 

I will look up in the sky to see that new star

And I know you will be there not too far!

 

I love you, Dang.
