Hugs & Kisses #3 : Yesterday's Love Letters

30" x 30" x 1.5"

Acrylic on Canvas

It was Mother’s Day

At Gramma’s House

She lived Near the Lake

And Wore a Pink Blouse

 

We Were Just Children

What did We Know

For My Mother’s Camera

We Put on a Show

 

Her Name Was Sally

You All Know Mine

Our Image Was Captured

Somewhere in Time

 

A ’53 Sedan

Was the Hazy Backdrop

My Mom Snapped the Picture

That Made the World Stop

 

I Tried to Kiss Her

She Bit My Nose

No Candy Exchanged

Not Even a Rose

 

“Kissin’ Cousins’

That’s What They Said

Each Time They Saw Us

We Wished We Were Dead

 

We Were Just Children

What did We Know

For My Mother’s Camera

We Put on a Show
