Aunt Poem

I wrote this song about my Aunt Ruby after she died of cancer... she was one of the best people I knew.

Ruby

© Abbey Silent
Graceful fingers and wispy hair,
A prayer so soft you almost couldn't hear.

But when she wanted, a voice loud and strong,
That would sing the most beautiful songs.

They gave her a month she took five years,
And shocked all her peers.

But she wasn't shocked not one little bit,
And her prayer always was,

Till that minuet, that time, that very last day,
Gods will be done, his way.

  • Dear Ruby ,
    I am 15 years old and just wanted to send a blessing to you and your family. I have someone in my family who had cancer and could not imagine losing them. All I have to say is be strong and god bless!!

    I was looking for a poem for my aunt, it's her baby shower and I happen to find yours, I will not use it but it’s a beautiful poem.

    I hope this message finds you in peace and happiness.
