Sometimes words fail
For emotions are complex, thoughts frail.
A flat line can say a lot,
Gone. Breathed her last.
A relief from all the pain for her.
For newer, better pastures, checked out of earth.
As people recount their favourite memories
I realise afresh her rich legacy:
A life well lived
With amazing grace and grit.
She was fading anyway
She to a shell was changed.
So, this is release.
May she be at peace,
Long lost, hard won.
Cheers to my friend, my teacher number one.
