I didn't know

All i remember is her glaring kindness Her wanting love and attention from any source She had a beautiful toughness about her That strengthened all around her I did not know she had cancer I wish i would have had the opportunity to say some words of encouragement to her but it was to late Now I'm faced with my mortality again "Hello aging, how've you been?". I can at least say i have nothing but pleasant Memories of her. And that shall be enough till my day comes.
