Leola

It is grace that though you find yourself
In a place unknown to your heart and mind
You are home.

Surrounded by family
Surrounded by warmth
Beneath a beaming cross.

Four generations have gathered here tonight
Broken by your loss
Bound by your love.

Proof that though you are leaving
You will always be
As long as we have breath.

Your body betrays you in the final hour
But your spirit remains faithful
Your struggle, like your life.

Elegant.

Our beloved matriarch and trusted friend
The one who brought us life and taught us love
You provide a final fleeting gift.

A knowing look from peaceful eyes unseen for far too long
Eyes that shine in a brilliance unknown to this world
A gift, your eyes.

And in your eyes
Your love.
