CAMELOT FANTASIES

Searching through legal papers
I came across a picture of you
Young and full of life
Your blue eyes sparkled from the sunlight
Mischievously happy caught in mid laughter
Travelling across the Atlantic for a better life
Well fitted classic suit
On your slender figure
Complimenting your wavy auburn hair
A shy beauty carrying her purse in one hand
And your valise at your feet

Lucky to have discovered this picture of you Mom
Eagerly taking dainty steps into the unknown
Excitement intermixed with fear
Newcomer onto a new land
Surrounded by mountains of four feet snow
By the sides of the streets
Flushed were your cheeks
East coast of Canada
Communicating with your smile
And your limited English

I can hear your voice in my head
As I recall one of your many stories
On your venture to Canada
A Spartan Queen
