A wise woman said,

When my first pet died

I won’t help cheer you up

I will be sad with you

Because that is what you should feel inside

A wise woman said,

When I lost my first game

Do not feel so disappointed

You did your best

You have nothing to be ashamed

A wise woman said,

When my first love left me

I will be sad with you for awhile

First love is hard

But forever, it was not meant to be

A wise woman said,

When my daughter died

We can’t understand now, why

But trust in the Lord

Share with Him your grief, He will help heal you inside

This wise woman

Was not just anyone

She was someone’s Mother

A Wife, a Sister, an Aunt

A Niece, a Daughter

All rolled into one

And she is loved,

Cherished and missed, by many a one

Her advice and her life, is her legacy

She’s remembered with the rising moon and the setting sun

And she lives on

Long after her final day was done…
