Of Those Who Loved Her
Lilting voice of tender carriage
Defined her gentle being
As time had not dismissed
Her childlike charisma
Laughter often narrates thought
When memories give rise
Recalling her demeanor
In sweet tempered innocence
For in a world of dusk and gloom
Her light, a shimmer fair
Would offer loving respite
From course of heart’s concern
Though now her voice no longer
Carries forth the air we breathe
It will surely live forever
In the care of those who loved her
Dedicated to my loving Godmother
who slipped away to sing elsewhere
