Litany of Thanks<\/em><\/h1>\n

Joan Aleshire<\/h2>\n

ALWAYS<\/p>\n

Always<\/em>, she ended her notes,
\nalways:<\/em> old-fashioned, generous,
\nand I thought too fond:
\nAlways, making my perpetual Best
\nseem stingy, pressing the page,
\nher claim with her firm blue scroll.<\/p>\n

Her last card fell from a book
\nthat fell at my feet-the cat,
\nthe wind, her will calling it
\nto my attention-the morning
\nI learned she’d died, had been
\ndying a year, and not wanted me
\nto know: so close to begging,
\ntoo proud to beg.<\/p>\n

On the card, two old-fashioned girls
\nread and dream over an open book,
\nblonde head close to brown one,
\nshowing more than careful words
\nall she hoped for, all she’d have me
\nunderstand, making the pledge
\nthat proves its truth daily:
\nAlways<\/em>, and under it, her name.<\/p>\n
