Aunty Carrie
She was a gentle soul
Who saw the worst
And endured it quietly
The man she loved
Was cruelly taken away
Left to raise two children
She always had a smile
Wanting the best for others
Living a long life
A matriarch to all.

Paying homage to an ordinary woman who lost her husband after the Great War due to being gassed on the Western Front. A gentle and well loved woman.
