She would be the perfect Ursula for Halloween the entire family said.
Aunt G who consumes cinnamon rolls, scones and plenty of bread.
Let’s tell her yelled her cousins, nieces, nephews and grandma too.
Don’t do it! Screeched her husband. That would make her feel blue!
Behind their backs she had been working on a big costume surprise.
She showed up at dinner as the best Ursula they had ever surmised.

Steadied by anthropological roots,
the strong influence gained in Kishamish,
flitting in and out of light and darkness
while harvesting the fields of literature
she delved into the depths of cultural
diversity, the political strength
of peaceful and ecological themes,
dialogue, balanced ideologies,
oriental spiritualism. She
blended science, fiction and fantasy
and harped on environmental issues,
feminism, sexual identity.
Her faithful pen a constant companion
in a long journey of exploration.
Hers, a brimful life with No time to Spare .

You have come into my heart
from hot, fine, very-far-away California.
You have said many interesting things.
You taught me English and Friendship.
You are for me an example
of courage, kindness, and talent.
Part of my heart now is your second home.
You do not need visas or tickets
to arrive here by the roads of the heart
It is enough to think about me a little,
and you will be already here in your second home,
which is always glad to receive you,
where you are loved very much,
where you need not pay rent
to live here always.

The E-mail to the USA flies very quickly!
The USA has a weekend again.
In California, Ursula looks at the moon.
I send my greeting to her,
«Where are you? How are you?
I miss you!»

A fine missionary was Ursula
eyes gleaming bright in the Chilean sun
Shining a smile from ear to ear
Striking, with black horn rim sunglasses on
Her humility made her a giant
Her kindness: an admirable friend
Her spirituality soaked to her depths
and flourished upon those she would tend
Walter was widowed and quiet
His gentleness drew to him children
One never could pass him without a warm smile,
a hug, while he asked how you're doing.
Ursula and Walter wed in their sixties.
Glint in their eyes as they walked down the aisle.
Holding hands, her in a simple cut dress
Him in a suit and a smile.
She couldn't hold onto him tight enough
and he passed on with a breath and a sigh
She sought all her solace in friends and her God
Prayers of the righteous ascend to on high
Now, in her eighties and failing,
I'm urgent to see her again
To thank her with tears in my sorrow-filled eyes
As her life of endurance comes to an end.
