My Aunt Pee

I wrote this about my great aunt who passed away today.

 

 

 

If you never known an enchanted soul

Or even a jubilant heart

If you never known a compassionate being

Full of vim and vigor then

You never knew my Aunt Pee

 

If you never had a good meal

Played a great game of cards

Or felt cozy and warm in the confines of a kitchen

Then you never knew my Aunt Pee

 

My Aunt Pee was a gift from

God wrapped in love and joy

 

My Aunt Pee was a glittery example of

The solidarity of the human spirit

And the long climb from rock bottom

 

My Aunt Pee knew no strangers

And made few enemies

 

My Aunt Pee liked to bring her groceries

In on a wheelbarrow and

My Aunt Pee loved to make you laugh

 

I was her Ginger, her spice

And she was my friend, my family, and my heart

 

I miss my Aunt Pee

But I would rather be missing her

Than to have to say I never knew her

Wonderful testimony to a kind soul. You have captured her essence in verse and praise.

I was reminded of this passage;

Psalm 56:8 (New International Version)

8 Record my lament;
list my tears on your scroll
are they not in your record?

May she rest in peace. Thank you for sharing a beautiful tribute.

God's Blessing

Ahh, this is a nice piece in every sense. From this poem you can take away so much that was 'nice' and 'sweet' about your Aunt Pee, I'm sure she would have been so proud and so pleased to have been remembered this way. Thanks for posting! Howie ;-)

Such a beautiful tender piece, all those things we remember when that person has gone,
she sounds a wonderful character, full of life and has left many beautiful memories.
I am sorry for your loss my friend x
