He who knit the night
to foil His starlight
did in your mother
of an eve
your bright soul's body
patiently weave

She was born with a handicap
.. a stony path .. but with the
unconditional 20 hour a day love of her parents
and with the love of her siblings her river of Spirit
flowed over the sharp rocks.. she was always funny
cheerful and positive.
(My teacher gave the admonition to be like a river
unaffected by the rocks over which it flows)
