Unique
She was a rarity, original and unique.
An artist living high atop a mountain peak.
Her home was eccentric, a flair of modern and old.
A mansion in the mountains, beautiful and bold.
Her hair was long and wavy, colors of the rainbow,
And she dressed in vibrant colors from head to toe.
A known philanthropist, who gave away her gold.
Her art is worth millions, new paintings and old.
She was also an activist and defended women’s rights.
To have seen her picket in town was a welcomed sight.
She donated to all animal welfare organizations too.
Her identity is a mystery, her real name no one knew.
They called her Sassy Unique, her signature on her art.
Cherished by town folks and known to have a big heart.
She recently died and left behind her mountain home.
Years of searching and still no real descendants known.
In her will she donated her home and all her art.
A plaque captured her legacy and philanthropy part.
Now a protected sanctuary with her plaque on display,
Welcome to Sassy Sanctuary, please help save the day.
