A WORTHY CONSOLATION

The aura you let behind,
Still, it lingers on—
For all the years you lived,
Now it resounds like a song—
Play on sweet old one,
As you find your life in the world beyond

*****

Now we wish for you with every step
We think of you in every breath,
And still, uphold the virtues you shared with us.

*****

Now is not the time to cry—
But our heart can’t help our human frailties—
So we weep!
But we are comforted
Knowing that you lived a life worth exaltation—
And you’ll always be in our hearts—
A worthy consolation!

TO MY LATE GRANDMOTHER. REST IN PEACE, MRS. THERESA RENNER
