When She Saw Her Pilot's Face
July 22, 1924 - January 13, 2013
A coalminer's daughter
without the warm memories,
A single mother of three
before it was in vogue,
A landed islander's lady
and "GreatGran" to a horde,
Some thought for sure
they knew her,
Some wondered
if they ever would.
In a corner of my heart
she'll fill an empty space,
since that quiet Sunday evening
when she saw her Pilot's face.
