The sands of time eroded that
broad smile from your face but
of that carefree ebullient character
I still can see some trace
The sands of time were crushing -
though submerged, you didn't sink
With faith and love as anchors
you're more buoyant than you think
An insightful piece of poetry with beautiful rendition of words. Thanks for sharing, Margaret.
