A Better Place

Fond Remembrance


I remember when
I was just a kid
and met my Aunt
for the very first time.

She seemed so adult
and sophisticated.
I wanted to be like her.
Right down to my tippy-toed shoes.

She wanted to 
pierce my ears
and I said, "No!"
Not me!  Running away.  

I remember being
at her wedding
and seeing her wearing
her beautiful white dress.

She went peacefully 
in her sleep!
After beating the odds
earlier this year.  

She will not be forgotten!

My Aunt passed away recently due to a stroke and I wrote this in memory of her.
