Mama
This one takes me right back
to the day of my mama's funeral --
Lewis playing "Amazing Grace,"
sitting there in a kitchen chair
at the edge of her beloved garden.
The one place
in all this endless brown dryness
where there was color and life.
That's what her garden was -- an amazing grace.

What a touching way to say good-bye.
