It would’ve been nice to be asked.
After all I was a bridesmaid at
their wedding 60 years ago been
family historian did a lot of tending
to our folks in their waning years
though I live much farther away did
most of the cleaning of the family
home went to their kids and grandkids
weddings gave good presents good baby
presents too and graduations yes it would
have been nice to be asked so I wouldn’t
have had to crash the party my coming
was a tribute really to their family I
didn’t come just to bug her it wasn’t
only across town my sister threw a fit
of course but I’d expected as much.
