A lady known for her virtue
The evils one should eschew
Virtuous deeds to follow
Never an advice too shallow
Hospitality was her hallmark in gold
Winning the hearts of young and old
Setting an example was her ideal
Until the last minute of her ordeal
Thinking about others needs
Accomplishing them by deeds
While brimming the heart warm
Silently introducing a soft reform
Pursuing her goals relentlessly
Day in day out tirelessly
Home, school or orphanage
Never worrying about her age
Endeavouring to explain
The deeper meaning in plain
For everyone to understand
With the language in command
Winning over hearts of tiny tots
Carefully connecting the dots
She constructed a long story
Outliving her soon in history
Remarkable lady was she
Selfless as one can be
Leaving a furrow to continue
For no ideal to discontinue
Not long gone after
To heaven hereafter
Will be missed forever
For her noble endeavour

Thanks!
I like the staccato, slightly unnatural artifice you built here. Did she die around 9-1-2018? I miss her and I didn't even know her. Very sweet, almost an epitaph, and very much a sign of true respect.
Thanks! it was Aug 14 2018
