No one would say I’m a poet. I’m not, but occasionally I write something that goes beyond my standard doggerel. I’m very happy to announce that my poem, “Raising Ben,” will be featured in an upcoming anthology, which celebrates the30th anniversary of the Smith Mountain Arts Council. I hope you like it.
Raising Ben
hold my hand
don’t let go
I’ll help you walk
time to eat
it’s your favorite
I’ll feed you
give me a sign
a smile something
show me you know I’m here
speak
one word any word
let me hear your voice
Mama
No, not Mama
just me Kathy
your daughter
