GO TELL MOMMA
Young man of 15
working with father
cutting, baling, hauling
a field of hay
on his father’s parents’ farm,
work almost done
mealtime approached;
Granma would provide.
“We’ll be done in half an hour,”
Father told his son.
“Go to the house,
and tell Momma.”
The boy had never heard
his father
address his mother thus.
‘How sweet,’
he thought. ‘She is Daddy’s Momma.’
