Mom's Bible

The one thing I wanted
when they cleaned out my Mom's house was her Bible.
I knew she had one or two -
turned out she had six!
But this was obviously the one she used.
She's underlined passages in red and yellow pencil,
just like my Grandma did.

But the biggest surprise
came when I looked at the front cover.
That's my name, embossed in gold
in the lower right hand corner.
She was using my Bible all this time.
That makes me happy.
