As my hand crossed the stationary to scribe the first line of my talk,
A tear drop hit the paper that made my arm balk.
I leaned back in my chair and continued the flow.
How can I write from my heart all the things that I know?
The lump in my throat, the sorrow I feel,
How, oh how, can I write with any true zeal?
The words were to uplift the loved ones for their loss.
Yet sweet Evelyn was far reaching in her walk across.
Like a ripple in a pond, she touched many a heart.
How can I express her love and only in part?
To speak of one’s life in such a short time
Seems to damage and erode that Noble Divine.
As the warmth of the sun wafts through my windowpane
It lighted my heart to understand all that she gained.
For the lady stood on Truth in all of her dealings.
Which says a lot and is totally revealing.
So, we reflect on Evelyn’s confidence understanding and love
As we articulate her life and what she found above.
