In September She was born on an orange day And they named her the first To be a mother. She said yes, and welcomed. It was with strident pride. She welcomed, A song, any song, for a dance. She welcomed, Call, any call, for a shared smile. She welcomed, Smile, any smile, for shared sweet tears. And on the day of orange and reds, she Is named Mary For always to be the mother. To always be the grand-est. Mother. DEDICATED TO MY GRANDMOTHER, MARY J. HADDAD, FOR HER 88TH BIRTHDAY, 2012
