When I remember her, I think of hope she aroused, prayers she inspired, dreams she encouraged. When I think of her, and remember… it is my own heart who beats more tenderly ~ quote by poet Just a fading star, she lingers in his thoughts, singing from afar, of winter’s cold, dark nights. Just a wilting flower, she mirrors grace and hope, as she nears her final hour, in the still of a mourning sun. Just an ebbing tide, she floats on silent seas, taking it all in stride, at the waves gentle touch. Just a dying dream, she remembers everything, love was so extreme, kissing away the past’s pain. Just a waning soul, she refuses to let life go, knowing she can’t control, it’s a little like a song. Just a vanishing smile, she won’t forget the kindness’, life can sometimes beguile, but she knows moments won’t last. Just a declining life, she is grateful for what has been, even through the worst strife, she’s known the meaning of hope. Just a fire burned out, she is more than an ember, she’s a soul without a doubt, that she’ll soon meet her Savior!

your poem was written with such grace and eloquence, Gina. Your words touched my soul as I thought about the old woman you described. (Just a vanishing smile reminds me of my elderly aunt) I especially liked the last verse. Splendid poem, Gina. Faving. Have a great evening, hugs, Sara
