Who She Was

She had style she was grace
and possessed a pretty face.
She was charming she was witty
her childhood spent in the city.

Lived her life with a passion
she was never out of fashion.
Make-up placed perfectly
the hair and nails done tastefully.

Oh so smart you could see
any problems  wouldn't be.
She was tough also strong
mostly right  when I was wrong.

She was neat kept things clean
always nice  never mean.
She was kind she was loving
didn't like people shoving.

Liked to party  a little booze
and she had too many shoes!
Never early   often late
left her greens upon her plate.

Treated friends with devotion
loved the beach and the ocean.
Nursed my cuts when I did bleed
tons of books  liked to read.

In a car  not great you see
passenger side  instructing me.
She was special like no other
super Wife  better Mother.

What a woman  a special girl
     she blessed my life
      she was my world!

Thank you Funom! I appreciate your comments, it is very encouraging! Much of what I write is to release the grief I feel over having recently lost my Wife to cancer. We were together since March 1982. Avis was only 55 when she passed away.
