The shadow cast was so gigantic
My shadow small could not measure up
The feeble efforts__ my meager life
To gigantic shadow that was cast
Hard workin', energetic, gifts held
So that I could grow be giant oak
Strong sturdy solid gave your all__ life
Limbs were used to heat center of home
The leaves to mulch the flowers, roses
Acorns to the feed the squirrels, deer, wild life
But what a shadow across the yard
A shady place for one to sit and grow
Or sit close to your trunk to weather
The storms that come from time to time
How I miss that Oak that is now gone
Cut down removed used for heat
Hearth and home for several winters
So long ago but the __memories
Of the beauty as you lifted
You limbs in prayer and praise
She was the frailest of creatures ever
Pretty and white, delicate as a rose
Possessed sharp memory and very clever
A kind heart and gentle frown above her nose
Never strict, would always let go
Busy with her writing and household chores
Hated needle work and didn’t know how to sew
Would always love a picnic outdoors
Never thought too highly of her
Until the day she fell sick
Said softly typically sweet and demure
Of life’s deep mystery and funny trick
‘I know I am weak’, said mommy dear
In health and character since beginning
But always kept this prayer short and clear
Never to give my child my ending
I cried for days when she said this
Loving her fragility more than ever
Her true love shone through this pure bliss
That she bestowed on her daughter with cheer
