She stared at the pictures and all,
the memories came rushing in.
She knows these faces of children,
and remembers her life again.
Once again she heard their laughter,
like before her life fell apart.
A tear of joy streaked her soft cheek,
as she felt their love fill her heart.
It is all the warmth she can feel,
as her grandchildren hug her deep.
The light on their face as they smiled,
these memories she vows to keep.
A light twinkles in her grey eyes,
a gentle smile slips ‘cross her face.
For just a few moments she is,
back in her family’s embrace.
The light begins to peel away,
her mind fades back to submission.
Please stay she begs, to no avail,
cause her memories won’t listen.
Be Careful What You Ask
I asked a simple question to Google's version of AI. I received what might be mistaken as an accurate answer.
My Question: "How long did it take for all 50 states to ratify the 19th amendment to the US Constitution.
This is the answer I recieved:
The 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote took approximately 19 years to be ratified by all 50 states. The amendment was first passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on May 21, 1919, and required 36 states to ratify it. The final state to ratify was Tennessee on August 18, 1920.
Problem: Tennessee was only the 36th state to ratify it. The second major problem is— if you add 19 years to 1919 then it would be 1938 when all 50 states ratified it. We did not have 50 states in 1938.
So when you hear our current president say he uses AI to help him make decisions on world affairs, know that he is not getting the true story. But then, it probably is still much better than what he gets from his band of amateur advisors.

I Love You
She opened her heart
like all lovers do,
he was her world.
She gave him her all,
he took it in,
told her “I love you.”
He said “I love you”,
after her busted lip,
from falling in the shower.
He said “I love you”,
after her head hit the table,
from tripping on a loose rug.
He said “I love you”,
after a broken arm,
from falling down the stairs.
He said “I love you”,
but she just isn’t sure,
how much more of his love,
she can survive.
