Her obit is in the paper today.
She died of open heart syndrome.
She gave and gave
And died smiling
A heart worn out,
Used up,
Spent for good.
Her heart skipped
Until it stopped,
Joy-filled.
Her age is listed.
It says simply: “old enough.”
Fearless,
She died with a question on her lips,
“And how are YOU?”
