The Lampshade Writer

To the No's you were told, to the yesses that were fake, to the doors that were closed in your face.  To the lies, to the hurt, to the pain and the shame  To the battles you've faced, to the worries you had Today your seed has come to life. To the odd jobs you did To the hard work you put in To the tears; I remember those tears To the guilt  Today greatness is proven. To the one bedroom To the kerosene lamp To the crooked kitchen To the single bed To the outside bathroom Today there's no limit to your success.  To the setbacks along your journey To the lip service you received To the hands that turn you away Today you're well received. To your children, biological and adopted To the love you've shown To the mouths you've fed Today is a blessing, and a blessing indeed.  Dedicated to my mother Carol Mae Anderson  Bachelor of Arts with Honors

You make us climb buildings and mountains to capture the essence of the colors that illuminate the vast magnificence of your season. Sweet and festive autumn, you bring such smiles to our lonely faces. Though your time is short, we will cherish the memories you bring, both on our timeline and in our stories.
