My Mom called From Seattle

My Mom called
me from Seattle
Telling of journeys
on Amtrak to
Vancouver and
a
ship
to Alaska
A voice
that
spoke
with
eyes
that
had
seen
She
told
me
of
a
bus
ride
into
the
US
from
Canada
and,
"How we've
met
the
nicest
people.
We'll
meet
up
with
the
group
in
Seattle
again."
I
tell
her
I'm a little
jealous
and
she
asks me,
"Why?
You've
been
everywhere
and
we've
only
just
begun."
and
my
heart
is
warm.
