Last Port of Call by Jean Grainger
November 29th 1969 a cold and windy night a mother and her nine months old son in arms walking to find a place to call home. Not really late just dusk dark. Wanted to get back to my one room that I was renting didn't want my son to get too cold. Holding him and talking he was smiling at me. He seems to be saying mommy it will be alright. I had to find a home for us. I must have walked what seems like miles but really only four blocks but they were long blocks. I didn't really know which, way to go just walking. God must have heard my prayers or my son's smiles you know God watches out for fools and babies. I was only eighteen myself and had a son he was just about a year a baby raising a baby. He's getting cranky now wanting to cry and move all around dropping his bottle on the ground I stopped to pick it up and wipe it off looked towards this light that was very bright because now it getting darker outside. Where is this light coming from I can really see 1409.
