Betty Poem by Elaine Battersby

Betty



She 85 years young
With a mind of her own,
and a will of steel that's for sure.
Not afraid to speak out,
when she thinks ought is wrong.
She's a lassie from Lancashire.
She's been through the war
and through the mill.
She knows what it's like to have naught.
But she can still have a laugh
and be glad for what's she's got.
She's a lassie from Lancashire

A lovely tribute to a powerful character. My favourite part is she's been through the war and the mill. Clever in more than one term. Ty. Karen
