Letter: For Mary Eshbaugh Hayes
For Mary Eshbaugh Hayes
Mary, Mary
uncontrary.
Oh did your garden
sow and grow.
You loved us so, you
shone light, your light
on us ten thousand times over.
I never doubted that when I wrote
You would embrace the creative seed
gripped tightly in my hand.
Often, you were the thread across an ocean
The reason it sprouted.
You I trusted
You I trust.
May we walk in your shoes, our shoes
the way you taught us.
All my love,
Sarah A. Pletts
