Her memory is a breath of laughter
Caressing the night in layers of starlight
Dreams rising on the greenest pastures
Where sun and moon glimmer, winking
While gently comforting, shining
O’er a reflection of yesterday
When she knew life – before old age
Her memory erases the many years
Of silence where her photo delights
In grinning from edges of a dull frame,
eyes twinkling love beneath warm lashes lining emerald legends
Promises of kindness reminding that she was once young
Her heart has broken and been mended by time and God
Who knows her as she is inside - young there in her spirit
Where she shines proficiency
Experience slides across her cheeks
Dimming her eyes with silent tears
Her Spirit survives and thrives - With love that is alive inside
Where she tries to deny that time
Is slowly erasing her sparkle - still, she shines!
