Kathy

Genuinely Good

My Dear Sweet Friend

will be leaving this world

at five thirty, they will

shut off the machines

that are keeping her alive

I've known her for many years

and I've never seen her

or talked to her on the phone

that she showed a bad spirit

from pain and persecution

she is a genuinely good person

always ready to help people

and especially little dogs

who needed some care, love

or a good home to stay in

dearest Kathy, kind ,gentle

my spirit knows for sure

you're in a heavenly meadow

playing with a pack of dogs

riding your horse on the path

you are young again, your back is straight

your work is finished, your suffering ended
