Grace
by Ann Smiley
Grace walked with us--
With sparkling, laughing eyes,
A voice that rang like fairy laughter,
A humor warm, and wise.
Grace loved us all--
As mother, wife, grandmother,
We were all her precious darlings,
Adored above all others.
Grace taught us well--
To wear our bravest smile,
To set our chins and face the world,
With dignity and style.
Grace went home--
A quiet, peaceful thing,
Knowing heaven beckoned to her,
Ready for her wings.
Grace lives still--
In the way we move our hands,
And when we hold our shoulders proud,
Her gentle presence stands.
Grace walks with us--
Although her body's gone,
She gave us all such strength and love,
Her spirit lingers on.
