She was...

She was a wife and a mother and somebody's child
way back when
She was a Naval brave, a lover of life
the love of one man
She was a light, an inspiration, a homemaker
of three kin
She was devout to her God, and kind to her peers
of the Nile
She was quick to offer hugs, offer food, offer tales
of her life
She was classy, reserved, fun, and firm
to her kids' kids
She has gone to meet her love in the place where we go
when we pass
And one day when I go, I hope to be reunited
with she who is my Grandmother.....


Ok, I'm not very poetic, but these were the thoughts that came to me today.  She will be sorely missed by all who have survived her.  I know that wherever we do go, she and my Grandfather are finally together.
