Hazel

Hazel

As reliable as the sun
She watches her great-grandchildren
Reads mail for me
Keeps track of time

What do I really know about her?
She doesn’t like cranberries
She has children here and there
She is widowed at least twice
She loves bingo and mushrooms
She gets cold easily.

Is that enough to call friend?

I love this. Poems are cool because they can be interpreted by the reader with personal meaning.
