Happy Mothers Day

by LB

To my daughters and daughters-in-law.

Jenny

Sabrina

You have no idea how proud G the B and I are of you and yours.

And, frankly, of the fact that at this stage of life,

We can remember your names.

The Brody Lilac Tree is in Bloom

Ah lilacs!

Beloved of allergists everywhere.

Gwen the Beautiful and I have lived

With this little sweetheart for ten years,

But seeing it this year is especially inspiring

Because it means we’re still alive.
