As the World Turned For Some

She had an almost insane love of life, Her attitude exuded abject fairness, She was the abominably busy butcher’s wife, Cancer treatments turned her suddenly quite hairless. Her love of God and Savior was her guiding light. No matter how she suffered, optimism shone through. The secret storm she held inside, a secret plight. Each day, a gift, she treasured gloriously anew. As the world turned, day by day, the same for many, She found happiness, and determinedly ignored the sad, Bringing joy to those who would have suffered plenty, If they had not seen her beacon of hope, realizing she was glad. At her services, a reoccurring theme was her love of life, Her love for her family, and her incessant offerings of hope. The busy butcher, now not as busy, mourning his lovely wife, In honor of her, smiled through his tears, daring not to mope. He could feel her love for him, beaming down from heaven. Glad he was, she was not still suffering from her secret storm, A storm she hid from the rest of them, especially her son, Kevin, Who crawled into bed with his daddy that night, so toasty warm.
