She holds herself,
with so much pride.
the joys of her youth,
memories never set aside.
The tender way she touches you,
as a reader,
poet and friend.
She listens with her true heart,
and speaks with a wisdom,
earned only by living.
She is the essecence of a mother,
one who understands,
her children are after all,
human, and prone to mistakes.
Lucky are those who have shared her life,
blessed be those who stay.
for there is always a place,
for a touch of the human factor,
and a story or two,
to brighten your day.
What a beautiful ode. I agree Ruthie is surely a treasure to all of us.
Rae -thank you so much for your beautiful words and feelings towards me. It touches my heart. This really made me smile thanks again..
