My Mom would appreciate this. She had a great sense of humor. ********************************************************************************************* My Mother rests inside a chest I must fulfill her last request To the shore where her I’ll pour Sound of wind and ocean roar The car was packed on top I stacked The urn it fell the glass was cracked AshesContinue reading “The Disposition Of Mother”
