The Lady of Belle Ewart

Each day you'd see her with her walking cane on Ewart Street And those she met along the way she'd always stop to greet In Lefroy she'd collect her mail and chat with Martin and Pat And some days the weather would catch her off guard but she never cared much for a hat Her daily walk would often yield some pennies alone the way Then later she'd share with family and friends the news of her luck that day She often joked with the Wonder bread man who parked at the post in Lefroy And it may not seem much but her walk to the post always brought her a smile and some joy The neighborhood folks all knew her by sight and many new friends she had found And though she was stopped and offered car rides her feet preferred walking Gods ground Dear Maggie has left us but only from Earth as her spirit has now traveled on And although we will miss her our faith keeps us strong for we know that she's really not gone Our Love travels with you Margaret In memory of my dear friend Margaret

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
