Death
The last one of the family
Thanksgiving and Christmas will be tainted
An in-law but the mom and grandmother
Of a list of family members
Strong, intelligent and blessed
Living to be in her upper ninties
Memories of her persona remain
How she got her GED in her late seventies
How she wanted higher education for children
How she worked in the garden and perserved food
How she kept a clean home at all times
Now into eternity she has gone
I know that she abides in a new heavenly home
Today will be a time to remember her life sublime
At Thanksgiving and Christmas Time
