pictures on her wall

pictures on her walls
her mother in her chair
staring at his image
his grin no longer there

a portrait of his likeness
life’s measure in his look
captured by his lover
a pair that truly took

they were my every summer
from my dawn unto their dusk
her mother and her lover
and emotions we all touched

captured on a canvas
her mother in her chair
can my words express the feelings
of the love i learned down there

mama stewart, frank and sister
a trio to behold
in matters of importance
god’s glory truly told
