GRUBBY LITTLE SECRET
I was a grubby little secret in my mother's mother's eyes
a grubby little secret, one for to be despised
a grubby little secret whisked far and wide away
a grubby little secret not to see the light of day
but after years of tears and hiding the secret rose to truth
this factual incarnation now standing beneath her roof
her sombre gaze met mine and I smiled and said hello
she just sat there dumbfounded, no emotion to let go
twas not til later, much later, after her passing that I was informed
that this quiet cold old lady held scorn for the day I was born
well here I am in reunion my sadness compounds distress
my poor mother had no say in this, as an infant I had much less.......
