A cherished life has passed away June 29, 2016

Dear Heart, untimely called on cruel grounds -
How to accept  your voice no longer sounds?
If life meet with  its end before it should
Let it be remembered for its good.
Given a peerless heart has now been stilled,
Let those who knew it inmost ways be filled
With gratitude to have been in its sphere
And fortitude to prosper year by year
Amidst remembrances of former days
Which never shall depart the inner gaze.
