Poem For Gigi
Her death has caused us all to pause and think
My husbands heart has begun to sink
into the depths of despair
pausing to catch some air
never regaining total control
his mother’s death has taken a toll.
Eyes so blue, they’d light up the day
in everything she had her way,
Seven children she carried in all
before her death two were to fall.
Her life at times was very bleak,
but never could one call her weak,
she stood for what she believed in,
whether in goodness or a sin.
Daughter, Wife, and Mother to all
although she is gone she is not lost to all
Her spirit resides deep within,
her friends, kids, and grandchildren.
A woman I was glad to know,
for me her presence will always show
in the strength of my daughter as she grows,
strength she gained from a woman, she hardly knows.
