AMORÉ: SPIRIT OF JUDY B SAILS

SPIRIT OF JUDY B SAILS

         Christmas Eve 2016

SPIRIT OF JUDY B set sail today, left our port, rode the tide down to the sea

Judy was asleep when it left...so as to awaken early, her new port to see.

We here on shore caught a glance of SPIRIT as it entered the ocean deep

behind she leaves a legacy of love and happiness each of us will keep.

Pure white sails blossomed to capture the wind and carry Judy on her way

tomorrow she’ll share her infectious smile with those waiting day after day.  

We whose lives she graced know already, the always-warm light we have lost

she was our wife, mother, friend, our quiet leader...never once our boss.

Over her 79 years Judy enhanced each port in which she stopped

all who got to know her knew, she always gave more than she got.

Judy used an endless supply of talents but to her what, in life, mattered most

was love from those she loved back; to her we raise our glasses, in a toast:

“Here’s to you our Queen, for you have helped us become who today we are

we pledge to love you forever and reunite, somewhere on your twinkling star.

“Soon you’ll be singing and weaving again, creating sunsets for endless years

you’ll help God, an artist too, with designs that sweep aside all our fears.”

Sons Eric & Peter; grandkids Miles, Cole, Ella & their Mom, Caprice; Steve,

husband for 58 years...we’ll all carry on even though for now, we do grieve...

Ever so slowly, your SPIRIT grows smaller...and soon it will pass from our sight,

we’ll know you’re not gone but simply over there, and still with us day and night.
