JUST THE MEMORIES

It is all over

There will be no recovery

The chances were there

But to no avail

So we sit confused

Hearts heavy with sorrow

She was once complete

Had a “kick-butt” attitude

But events came along with

No flag for interference

Being strong she persevered

And finally was overcome

Egos and control

Can’t stop a free spirit

But do slow one down

Her love of life and people

Not to mention animals

Kept her moving forward

Until she hit the proverbial wall

Depression took over

Something difficult to understand

It changes people as we know

But she never gave up her

Love of family and friends

She was kind and lovely

Drew people to her

It all seemed so natural

Until medications took their toll

She had her faults along with doubts

Could keep condition camouflaged

Finally trickled over an unknown waterfall

Leaving us to know with sweet-sorrow memories
