I posted a poem titled "She Soars Like An Eagle", but I re-edited the poem, and this is the final draft. I took this poem and put it in a picture frame for my cousin Laverne, to be placed near her coffin when that day comes. She is in her last stages of Cancer. She wanted me to write a poem for her. She heard the poem and said it was so beautiful. She was really pleased. I hope you like the new poem. Her mother is still living at 101 years of age. She has dementia and is not aware that one daughter has passed away, but will lose another soon. It is sad but life must go on!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Laverne was an inspiration to everyone
She cherished life in hardships and fun
Being her last testament and final goal
God sends heavenly angels for her soul

Laverne's mother was 'special' in her life
Through heartaches of unbearable strife
Tending her mother's needs many years
Sharing of laughter and saddened tears

Her entire family is loved so very much
As fingertips reach for one final touch
Her great-grandson is a blessing to her
She passes her heritage, in order to enter

A beautiful legacy shared by one and all
As she answers the 'Master's Call'
Through God, shining bright and regal
Her Christian faith soars like an eagle

Dear Brenda

It is a poem from a loving heart and I am glad she will get to read it.  We should all give words of inspiration and love while our dear ones are still with us.  Love, Joyce
