Until We Meet Again

Until We Meet Again

	      And so, at last, she leaves this earthly life,
	     To start afresh in pastures calm and green,
	     And though she never wore the cloak of wife,
	     As mother to so many she was seen.
	     A lasting presence felt by those who knew
	     And shared her love of life and knowing smile.
	     Forever calm and still when ill winds blew,
	     With inner thoughts held secret all the while.
	     A life, lived full, that spanned so great a time,
	     Through war and peace and places far and near,
	     Yet of her history now there is no sign,
	     Of people met or vision bright and clear.
		     So sleep Elizabeth, I won't forget,
		     Until the time when I can say “Well met!"
