    Poem Commentary

    My inspiration is my grandmother. She has taken care of me when no one else would.

    Betrayal

    As I sit here

    Tears streaming down my face

    I am being asked to betray

    The one person in my life

    Who truly loves me.

    She is a lady who gets no credit

    For the things she has done

    She is a lady who has tended

    To her own children

    And their children.

    When no one wanted me

    She took my hand.

    She tried to mend the holes

    Within me

    Tried to make me whole again

    For this I owe her everything

    For this I owe my life

    For this lady I would do anything

    But the one thing I won't do

    Is betray her

    I love this lady with all

    That I am

    I love with her

    With all I can be

    This lady who is so special

    I call her Grandmother

    But most of all I call her...

    Mine

    Nearing betrayal, but not quite there. I am glad to know there are people who have a conviction of commitment that is deeper than a whim or the call to do something 'exciting'. I commend you for standing your ground to take your place next to her side. I am stirred, not shaken. Excellent (and good, too!)

    Yes indeed the true penmanship, of a woman motivated within herself to write the words on this page that to me is beautiful poetry. The true essence in your words grabbed me deep into thought at the end.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
