Twenty-one years ago, in the year 2000, Marjorie Snelgrove, had one of her poems published in Ballads of Our Lives. At that point in her life she was 74, just a few months older than I am now. Like many in our family, she had dabbled in poetry and other forms of writing most of her life – just for the sheer pleasure of it. In today’s world, she would most certainly have had a blog. In any case, I believe she was very proud to have her contribution accepted alongside those of hundreds of other amateur poets.
Today my mother would have turned 95, so I am going to post her poem on my blog.
“Hey, Mom! You’re on a different stage now.”

Beautiful way to pay tribute to your mother, Audreyđź’•
My mother was also a very good writer. Maybe one day I’ll post the poem she wrote for my sweet 16.
