JANUARY 19, MEMORIES ON THE WALL



Mom a dark hair beauty January 19,1973
She was known as a Elizabeth Taylor lookalike
Smiling through her pain the photo hides
A land locked phone in her ear
Would she have been amazed a cellular phone?
Electric typewriter by her side
this woman who typed a hundred words a minute
Amazed would she be to see me at a computer
Rolodex by her side yellow pencil in her hand
I type the words and hit publish--a writer
Proud a medic--in her mind her son a Doctor
Me and Jeri the next photo on the shelf
I was eleven and Jeri was seven
Jeri died on January 19, 2006--aneurysm
Little Blondie girl with curly hair
She loved Elvis--girls state, loved music
Tomorrow just pictures laying on my desk
January 19Th, the day that dies in infamy
Hey, Mom, did you know there was a man on the Moon?
Reality shows--you loved Liberace, Ed Sullivan
Bob Hope, six year old playing guitar, a star
Billions are the stars that paint the skies
Mere brushes entertaining the Moon above
The beauty found in an Angel's eyes
Looking from the Heavens at me filled with love
God saith, "Forget them as love no unbourne"
For in your unmirrored eyes feelings of a fool
These especial stars for whom you Mourn
for in heaven I take them in dazzling hue
I leave behind other galaxies to take their space
Thine eyes, Thyne motion, to hear thy name
Forever is the void no one can replace
Fern Erma Soash Bisyak and Jeri Aldridge
Died on different years January 19th
Angels, you will always be in my heart.
