Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen Poet Elegy

Death of a Mother

Death of a Mother

A mother’s love remembered at her grave.
Where children grieve and mourn at love’s conclave.
Her laughter and her smiles on hearts engrave.
And keep the loving memories they crave.

Carolyn Devonshire January 26, 2010 at 8:10 PM yes, this is what it was like when my sister and I visited my mother's grave not too long ago. She's been gone a long time, but "the loving memories" will live within us forever. Beautiful elegy, my friend! Love you, Carolyn
