4th of July

Today is her birthday

No not Ms. America
My Mom
Born in Eire
Turned 96
Her Mother told her long ago....
"You're so sickly you'll live to be 90"
Worked in London 1945
Only building left standing for 3km
She danced
Upstairs ballroom, downstairs Irish
Seems the Irish were always downstairs
Crossed the Atlantic in 1954
Had a room far down the stairs
Dragged the pram up those stairs
For seven days
Baby needed fresh air
Had good intentions
Learn your timestables
Do the dishes
Get a paper route
Fireworks fill the sky
