My Aunt Thelma

Her knowledge of faith's right in essence, not contrite she spoke with rigors heralding not jarring to incite! On her my trust could lean, a family in-between, I loved her for her fairness sight without a trace of learned respite! I missed her, now and then I'd call her, when I can, when learning of her now demise a sadness helped me realize ~ She'll never come again, Oh, Thelma, praise, amen ~ We love you for our families plight you settled with your brave insight! Until we meet again ~ your blessings linger then, God keep you now, for all times spent, Our time on Earth ~ we only rent!
