Her Spirit

The Bottom Line In honor of my grandmother, who lost her fight with cancer on March 15, 2002.

A baby…
Nestled in her mother's arms
Her spirit lives

A child…
Learning the world's ways
Her spirit grows

A woman…
No longer a girl
Her spirit blossoms

A wife…
Devoted to her husband
Her spirit loves

A mother….
Caring for her children
Her spirit guides

A teacher…
Shaping young lives
Her spirit leads

A friend…
Always caring and supporting
Her spirit comforts

A word…
No one wants to hear
Her spirit fears

A strength…
She didn't know she had
Her spirit lifts

A body…
Wracked with pain
Her spirit cries out

Her God…
Reaches out for her
Her spirit finds peace

Our tears…
They are not for her, but for us
For her spirit soars
