Dora Gouws, Into God's Hands

I
Dora was 82 this year
My onetime neighbor
Three years back
I was new again
From USA, I backtracked
She inspired me about Africa again

II
Jesus, she loved Thee well
We pray, shalom, live to tell
If an ordinary, great South African
Bye Tanie Dora, godspeed
You wanted to care for your needs
But Thatcher Home was there
For a while, you shared your flair
In faith and community spirit

Much appreciated, Dear Victor. Tanie Dora Gouws was truly a superb Lady, not just speaking well of the dead. A Loss to my native country
