Poem Commentary

In memory of my grandmother Ann Clare Huston. She passed away on June 5 2010. She had written this poem and I feel that it deserves to be appreciated by more then just her family and friends. She will be deeply missed....

Annies's Poem

I think it will be winter when I die.
(for no one in the North should die in spring)
And when It's almost dark, I'll set my feet
where a white path goes glimmering
up a hill and see far up, a light.

Would you think Heaven could be so small
a place as a lit window on a hill at night?

And come in stumbling from the gloom,
Half blind into a firelit room,
Turn around and see you all,
and there abide.

If it were true, I almost wish it were
tonight I died.

Ann Clare Huston

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
