Do What You Can

She was a beacon, lighting up many dark nights.
There were two relationships of which I am aware.
One was an immature romance filled with toxicity.
The other was paternal and practically none existant.

I attempted personal intervention with one and failed.
I loved and guided her like a father and made a difference.
My granddaughter recently entered her eternal heavenly rest.
And I?  May it be said of me, "He has done what he could".
