Rally the lost and trembling forces of the will

[orangelemon]

A milestone reached, a marker in family history attained.

McWorld gains over Jihad. Technology wooes primitivism, wins.

The earthquake stilled, order infused in daily life

No more skulking at her keyboard, unaccepting

furtive glances at my cheerful greetings cease

Mom, unprompted, IMed me of her own free will

She takes the reins. She believes.

AARP joins the global revolution.
