Trudging through the soft but cold snowfall
she carried her small bundles homeward.
Long hours she spent cleaning someone else’s home
so she may have food for her own.
But she never complained above a whisper,
never cried the night away in self-pity.

But my heart knows she was lonely,
feels she must have had unfulfilled dreams.
For I see it in eyes that cannot disguise
the colors of sadness and weariness,
though time etched itself gracefully
upon her delicate brow.

And now, I understand full well
the Hell she fought against,
the rivers of hate heaped upon her plate
day-after-day for the slant of her eyes
that would not give in to resentment,
not succumb to the wasteland
of revenge.

In her final hours,
her gentle spirit did prevail.
Her heart was not bound
by this earthly jail.

I'm thinking she may have known
some joy
in knowing a midnitesun...

strongly believe these souls are truly truly tools of Gods, to live their lives by example, brave, accepting and yet most generous people....who collect love blossoms like some people collect and hord money....they are enriched and enriching...

what a lovely tribute, and a lovely heart you have.

Kacy, I got an instant picture with this dear lady. I am glad you were with her to see.

You're such a special angel.

Astounding depiction. I understood and felt someone else's pain, and finally, their joyful release.

Wonderful writing.
