A poem for Betty
By Ann Marie.
Through my childhood eyes you were intriguing
Walking into your kitchen
Enveloped by the smoky haze
And fascinated at how you would entertain yourself
A cheeky sense of humour
Mischievous
A rebel at the core
The best kind
What better way to choose to live
Then to be unapologetically you.
