WRITTEN BY MARGARET WIDMER

SHE ALWAYS LEANED TO WATCH FOR US ANXIOUS IF WE WERE LATE, IN WINTER BY THE WINDOW, IN SUMMER BY THE GATE. 

THO WE MOCKED HER TENDERLY, WE HAD SUCH FOOLISH CARE, A LONG WAY HOME WOULD SEEM MORE SAFE BECAUSE SHE WAITED THERE. 

HER THOUGHTS WERE ALSO FULL OF US SHE NEVER WOULD FORGET AND SO I THINK THAT WHERE SHE IS SHE MUST BE WAITING YET.

WAITING TIL WE COME HOME TO HER ANXIOUS IF WE ARE LATE WATCHING FROM HEAVEN'S WINDOW LEANING FROM HEAVEN'S GATE.
