Life Legacies
She Owned Her Beauty
Thoughts on My Grandmothers Home Going
She Lived Deep She never stopped learning, playing Or finding wonder In the world around her. She lived the length of her life, But lived it with depth of it as well.
She Traveled Light She knew there was no use in carrying around Worry or regrets. They would only weigh her down. She always kept herself open To hope and to love. They gave her wings.
She Forgave Imperfections In herselfand in others. Imperfections kept things interesting. She knew the cracks were Where the light shined through.
And not just to keep in the drawer, Tucked away for a perfect day. She surrounded herself with things That made her happy, that reminded her Ofthe beauty all around us If we keep our eyes open to it.
She Made Mistakes And followed detours. Sometimes it took unexpected turns To help her find the life that was waiting for her around the bend. She trusted in herselfand the path that was meant for her.
She Took Care O(Herself And sometimes that meant She need her ice cream. She was good to her body, But also her mind, spirit and soul. She knew she was the only one who could.
Nana Always, Always Know You Are Loved You were a gift to this world And a blessing to me And that will never change.
