1. song for my mother
her wings carried
the nine
no feathers plucked
from the plumage
of her vigilance.
seven years more
than ten decades
leave never-fading
diurnal melodies.
her grave hath
no grave songs
the living sing
but happy ones
where the sweat
of her brows
has left
a desolate habitation
in full bloom

Thank you, Ljdynamic.
To have had my mother until she was 107-plus years was the greatest temporal gift of all time. Happily, she read and listened to many of my poetic tributes while she was still alive.

Longevity runs in your family too!
That's cool.
Have you checked on your great-granddad recently? Keeping him from COVID-19 is critical.
My great-grandmother (on my father's side) lived to 105. My father died at 99. So I have it on both sides.
