Bright eyed silly girl of seven, flower gatherer, sing -song voice!
Eleven and blonde ringlets gave way to graceful curls, ballet slippers, blackberry picker!
At twenty one full of life, hopes and dreams! Peace-maker, pleated skirt, sashaying walk.
Thirty two and mom to three, seamstress and baker, apron wearer!
Sixty five, husband died, grandchildren grow, best rose grower in town!
Precious hands at eighty ache to fold even in prayer, life-giver, world changer, legacy maker, bright eyed lady, last breath.
