Tuesday

(it was a month ago now)

been gone so long.

for g - l - o - r - i - a

expect the best
For all the hurt I suffered
and all the pain I bore
It didn't make me love less
It made me love even more

We shouldn't hide our feelings
or play childish games
We should give our all and then some
and in faith expect the same.
Gloria E. Sparrow


simple; true; alarmingly elusive--
from the woman who instilled all the people I come from with
the ability to love crazily




...
won't dish the dirt
with the rest of the broads--
that's why the lady is a tramp.

my Grandmother, Gloria, refused to go with the other ladies into the kitchen after a big holiday meal had been finished to do dishes.
she stuck around in the dining room, smokin with the boys.
there was never another like her, and there will never be.
