an envelope of coins

in the cold of April
we'd
shuffle off
with the reluctance of children
in the early
morning.
cleaned and brushed,
collars pulled
down,
pushed off
towards
church, St. Thomas More.
our envelopes
heavy with coins.
off we'd go,
our mother, watching
us from the door.
as we looked and waved,
she still believed
back then.
