Gemstone

Face is wrinkled, hips are round, hair is white
Her hands held babies and made great apple pie
She sits in a soft chair playing the rosary
By a photo of her husband from 1963
Worked as a nurse after her babies grew
Her back in hunched over from having too much to do
She sings out loudly and a little off key
To records of Joan Baez and Elvis Prestley
Her heart is a gemstone
It's been polished by time
She sparkles off her edges
Has a twinkle in her eye
She's a fierce and loving warrior
She's an heirloom and a crone
and now her body withers
But her heart shines like a gemstone
Her children come on Tuesday
Say they'd like to visit more
She made a quilt for the baby
filled with moons and stars
And everyday she wakes up
in her 4 poster bed
Thanks God for her family
and her daily bread
