Her Views

                    Her Views

 

 From her well kept, two story house

with its sedate, suburban views of Denver

and its two car garage,

   housing two, late model sedans,

from nicely appointed rooms

with portraits of her 

newly deceased soul mate,

   with whom she started out with nothing

   sixty four years ago,

and two loving daughters,

   one of whom miraculously survived

   a nearly fatal car wreck,

her two grown grandsons

and her three great grandchildren,

as we prepared

   from her well supplied pantry

   food for the funeral guests

      she explained,

  that she told the minister

  not to mention God too much

  because

        he hadn't been good to her family.
