Only Now
There are many things,
that brought us together.
Many good times,
but also time of sadness.
I have learned from you,
over all these years,
someone with a heart,
as big as the sun.
Stopping traffic,
helping a turtle to the
other side of the road.
Taking in a wounded cat,
nursing her til she could
face her life again.
Giving to those around,
by doing without.
These things you thought
unnoticed,
but were not.
It is now time to rest,
leaving those behind.
To cherish your life,
as a wife, mother
and a friend,
never to forget.
Although your song is ended.
your melody
will always linger on.
