the clouds openedas He welcomed
her home
dressed with pretty ribbons
yellow and pure
a rosary resting
on her shawl
with its beads tattered
and torn
the call came at
the brink of dawn
before the flowers
will open and bloom
as sadness surrounds
the garden of doom
for all the lilies
had lost their perfume
the bees silently buzz
for no more nectar it's gone
as the butterflies weep
as they flap
for all the flowers
had wilted and dried...
have a joyful journey to eternity Mrs. Aquino...you will be sorely missed here on earth...art is by John Singer Sargent...an American painter, the best of his time...sort of like more than a century ago :)
