    Aunt INA'S EYES

    THEY ARE ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT MONA LISA'S SMILE. WHAT ABOUT THOSE ALL KNOWING EYES. I LOOKED INTHE MIRROR,THIS MORNING,STEERING DEEPLY AT YOUR STYLE. THERE IS SOMETHING WONDERFUL I SEE THERE; AS I LOOK INTO YOUR FACE--FULL OF COLORS OF THE RAINBOW, YOU CARRIED IN YOUR ARTIST CASE. I MOVE BACK THROUGH DECADES OF ENERGY AND MASS,AS I SEE YOU AT OUR SCHOOL GATES, READY TO TAKE US HOME,AT LAST. YOUR WARM HANDS IN THE WINTER, THAT LOOKED LIKE MOMMIES, GUIDED US ROAMLESSLY THROUGH THE PAST. I STILL CAN SEE YOUR DODDLES, SCRIBBLE SOME MAY SAY, YOU ARE A VISION OF LOVELINESS-A MANIFESTED BEAUTY RAY. WHEN THEY SAY I SOUND LIKE AUNT INA, AM I FLASHING THAT SPECIAL SMILE? A VERY SPECIAL GLANCE THAT SAID,''MISCIEFMAKER'',DON'T DO IT!AN EXPRESSION: A MIXTURE FROM HER ARTIST KIT. YOU SEEMED TO KNOW SOMETHING THAT NO ONE SEEMED TO KNOW; SECRET OF SECRETS ONLY ANGELS ARE AWARE. YOU TOOK CARE OF ALL THREE, MISCHIEF WE DID NOT DARE. I AM SO GLAD I CAN STILL SEE YOUR FACE ; MAKING YOUR VISAGE A CELEBRATION OF HARMONY AND GRACE.

    thank you for enjoying my chidhood memory of aunt Ina- She is still alive enjoying her great- great granchildren in NY.

    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
