What a great, succinct poem. I love that you moved through the years in it, starting in that sweet childhood time, with the bare feet covered in soot from the mills, then finishing with today, retirement. Always love your poems Tam.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994770259293936910.post-44744330979636434912012-03-29T23:34:29.230-04:002012-03-29T23:34:29.230-04:00I found out things I didn't know about you...l...I found out things I didn't know about you...love this...a poetic way to tell who you are and where you came from...oh yeah...it's a poem...and it's beautifully written. !

You cannot get a divorce from words, and your words live on when you are gone.

Was Baba your grandmother? My mother's first name is Barbara and when the first of my three children were born, my mom announced she didn't want to be called grandma. So the first and remaining two shortened Barbara to Baba. Baba is now 92 AND no one better call her Baba but her grandkids. I will try to be inspired by you...I would like to write a "Where I'm From".Seneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12910008897042571707noreply@blogger.com
