"White Medicine Woman"

  Pearl

     
       

 My first meeting with Pearl was delicate

       When she started to shed tears

It wasn’t me that upset her, but

       The sadness she’d hidden for years

Pearl’s devotion to my Great Uncle Ted

       Was obvious to even the casual observer

When she spoke of him it was evident

       By the smiles that would come to her

 

Pearl so loved to talk of Ted

       And the life they had shared

It was wonderful in her memory and

       I could see how much she cared

Although she’d loved her second husband

       Pearl still missed Ted desperately

She was calmer at our next meeting

       And said she was happy to speak with me
