We Called Her Betty Boop

Photo and Poem are both mine!

We called her

Betty Boop

That little old

Lady

Who came

To Monday

Night dinners

With her loving

Husband.

She was in her

Nineties

But I guess

We took it

For granted

She would

Always be there

Until she wasn’t.

We called her Betty Boop

For her love of

All things Betty Boop

And one day

Her soul flew away

Quietly.

She flew away

Quietly

As her husband

Quietly

Grieves.
