People liked her, not because She was rich, or known to
fame; She had never won applause As a star in any game. Hers was not a brilliant style, Hers was not a forceful way, But she had a gentle smile And a kind word to say.
Never arrogant or proud, On she went with manner
mild; Never quarrelsome or loud, Just as simple as a child; Honest, patient, brave, and
true, Thus she lived from day to
day, Doing what she found to do In a cheerful sort of way.
Wasnt one to boast of gold, Or belittle it with sneers, Didnt change from hot to
cold, Kept her friends throughout
the years

Sort of lady youd like to meet,
Any time or any place, There was always something
sweet And refreshing in her face.
Sort of lady youd like to be; Balanced well and truly
square; Patient in adversity Generous when her skies were
fair, Never lied to friend or foe, Never rash in word or deed, Quick to come and slow to go In a neighbors time of need.
Never rose to wealth or fame, Simply lived and simply died, But the passing of her name Left a sorrow, far and wide. Not for glory shed attained Nor for what she had of pelf Were the friends that she had
gained, But for what she was herself.
