now
here are your shares
from broken dishes
and glasses my mom
never thought you'd be serving from...
who did??
a gift of your prime
was sold for a dime
forgetting that many women
crafted their table
and dining arrangements after your
rare
design- what a shame...
a cook
turned crook
now...we can expect a book or even a movie
in the next
few months on cable
while you're
wetting tables in the prison kitchen
with your own tears
wishing you had those years
where homemaking was not your profit but your peace.

This was very good...
that last line really stood out to me, won't lQQk @ homemaking the same from now on.
Thanks
