Yesterday we lost someone
Close friend to my parents
Wonderful lady she was
Mother, friend and council
Cold hands of death
To a strange illness
Someone I last saw healthy
Gone from what may be covid
I grieve for her demise
I feel the pain of her loved ones
But I won't stain her memory
By letting tears belittle her impact
All men must die
There's no need to keep asking why
Just make sure to thine own self
You create a lasting impact in your World
