~Tribute to Memo ~

Lillian Luther born October 15, 1926, has been on my mind lately....things that often bring her alive ....could be the way a word is pronounced to the way the afternoon sun hits a spot of green grass or perhaps the smell of cut grass, a red geranium, or woman's fingernail.....yes, so I made a little poem the other night of all the things that came to my mind in no certain order. ~ I miss you and the 'home' that lives/ed inside of us that you loved~ 

Going back home sets these memories alive inside of me...........
