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.
