Perspectives on Pear

Rochelle Lynn Holt

Why are you weeping? I ask my mother.
Because I’m so old, she says, sobbing.
And, then my eyes begin to tear.

I know my dearest friend is dying;
soon her body will disappear
but not the countless memories we have shared.

She was my first and best teacher
who taught me how to love family, to care
about perfection in everything.

She inspired me to read, think, be better
than negative emotions: fear.
She showed me how to fly on bird’s wing.

She helped me always to be here
in the present moment where I can bring
relief from suffering burdens that smother.

She believed in dreams, imagining
an easier, richer life than was hers
while she sketched perspectives on pear.

I couldn’t have been born to another
brave woman: working, giving, loving.
She’s my hero, precious and rare.
