To The Lady At Dragonfly Studio
She is a busy wee body,
butterflying from loom
to lambing
via granddaughters.
She is a rat-a- tat-tat
of laughter and nonsense,
ricocheting down the glen.
She is a mountain’s Ma Walton,
weaving a web
of Winter woollies
for all and sundry
and all of their friends.
She is an organic power station
for a father and mother
and husband and children,
who she cajoled across two countries
because only she knew
it was the right thing to do.
