She touched the earth, and it was changed.
Daughter, sister, girl, woman,
wife, mother, grandmother, friend
All of these – and variations therein.
Legacy of kindness, legacy of love,
Independent, protective, decisive, fun.
Curious, gracious, and self-assured.
Example to others, compassion for all.
Your pain, their pain – her pain.
Your joy, their joy – her joy.
She shared her love, and you were changed.
Forevermore.
