Gone the warmth
The smile
Once showing
A countenance
Itself
Bestowing
Reflective passions
All
A glowing
Strutted pride
Her body
Towing
Ah..what confidence
That stride
‘Tis sowing
Heaven's gain..our loss
In her
Homegoing
Yet warmth..the smile
And grace
Still flowing
Strutted pride
Memories
Towing
Musing gifts
Of treasured
Knowings
*
*
Though gone the warmth
And smile
..Once showing
