Tender Nurishing

She's left a legacy of strength, compassion and love
Though her light in life has grown dim
She'll be forever alive and bright in each of them
Each has a branch from her eternal tree
Those branches will forever stretch with each new seed
For life never truly ends 
It only continues in a different sense
It started  before her and only grew bigger even stronger
Those of us who got the privilege 
We got to love her.
So instead let's not say goodbye
To this beautiful soul.
We'll keep her alive in our hearts where she'll forever continue to shine
