Twenty-Eight

Twenty-Eight

A Poem by Randy Johnson
"

DEDICATED TO AGNES JOHNSON (1948-2013) WHO PASSED AWAY AT THE AGE OF 64 ON MARCH 6, 2013.

"

Mom was only twenty-eight when she moved in this house in 1977,

And she lived here until she moved to Sneedville, Tennessee in 2011.

Mom was beautiful at twenty-eight and she was still beautiful at sixty-four.

She would still be beautiful today but sadly, she isn't with us anymore.

When I was growing up, Mom was a stay-at-home mom and that made me glad.

She devoted her time to her family instead of a job and that might make feminists mad.

But I'm happy that she was a homemaker because I was able to spend more time with her.

If I'm asked to give Mom a rating on a scale of one to ten, a ten is what I'll be proud to give her.
