Opal

Mom Opal, not opal the stones
Is 4'9" with stong, small bones.

She is smart, but her heart is sick.
For many years (82), it's gone tick.

Her words of wisdom are so endearing.
She is sweet and a bit hard of hearing.

Larry talked to her last eve - his Mom.
Cried a bit that her heart is not strong.

We are praying she will last some more.
I'm saying she is a woman we so adore.

She's a sweetheart - wonderful dear.
We want her to last for another year.

She had open heart surgery years ago.
Has to have another procedure to show

What is wrong now, a clogged artery?
The only way that her doctor can see

If she will have to have it done again.
I will keep saying my prayers. Amen.
