Anyone Valentine

Smarten up young man
My mother would say to me 
I still hear her voice
Pretending sternness 
As if eighty years stopped
Nothing between us 
Now I see her
In three phases
Closest to her
When she was
Seventeen and had
Just lost her mother
In the second she
Betrayed me or so
I thought in the third
An old woman
Anyone would love
