Disappointment

The pain in our hearts become unbearable, 
as the quilt grows and grows.
She said 67, which meant two things.
In many ways the mother would be happy, 
and in many disappointed in her.

Disappointed because now she is failing, 
she can no longer drive; 
she will now have to sell more tickets.

But she will be happy because 
she will be done with the play.
She will be home on time; 
the bible reading will be accomplished.

But the saddest of is that 
her mother will be disappointed in
her inability to keep her grades up.
