Maureen, Gone But Not Forgotten Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Maureen is still touching lives through her memory
as it is passed on from Mom and friends.
Far-reaching effects stem from her life's work on
earth and her love for all things good and proper
will last an eternity.
Sometimes people reach others from the other side
of death, like Maureen is doing even now in this
poem.
Tears fill eyes and heart with images and pictures
of a daughter much loved and missed.
Spanning the years with her dreams of environmental
issues, voting rights, helping people, an ongoing
impulse to bring aid is carried forth by friends,
family and everyone who knew her.
A haunting spirituality emanating from her eyes
even now, as she watches from above, good deeds
being done in her honor and loving memory.
