His mother and his father’s
mother
Had not been in talking
term for life.
Yet they had no enmity
between them.
His mother let her love
them, six children,
Which should have
softened his grandmother.
Her care for them must
have pleased his mother.
They never sat near nor
scolded each other.
Yet they could not be in
enmity
For both wanted the
welfare of the children.
It was she who nursed
her in her death bed.
Her own sisters, nephews
and nieces fled
As the birds did when
the tree turned baren.
She felt her guilt and
confessed it to her
Who, as blessed, had had
a good death later.
