A soul of kindness filled with love 
is now at Home with God above.
Her heartprints left on those behind 
have brightened the core of mankind.

The sun still rises through the grief
and, in its brilliance, is relief;
each ray is an angelic “hi”
to ease the tears we long to cry.

Each memory, held tight within -
when replayed again and again -
reminds us of the precious gift
she gave to those needing a lift.

Although we pause to mourn and grieve
because God chose her soul to leave,
we see her smile in clouds of cotton -
through heart prints nevermore forgotten.
