Her smile can light up a room
Her presence is of grace
Her opinions are heard without one word
but by the look upon her face
Her touch is so gentle
Her heart as big as the moon
Her spirit is kindhearted
and warm as a summers afternoon
Her kisses are so soft
Her hugs preferred from the rest
You will be missed and forever loved
Partricia Ann Gerdes
