Truly Gertrude Poem by AHO Speaks

O'Gertrude you were a singular creative work of love
A strong person yet the softness of a heavenly dove.
A woman of deep rich color and magnificent hue
Standing tall among many ever so beautiful.

Your voice could command and also be soft as a breeze
The recipent of many gifts from God whom you did please
You were separate, different and distinct as part of your race
With a love of intensity we all have; regardess of face.

As a child of God you particpated and developed as such
Now to go toward your God as a child whom It loves very much.

I know you will not desire to wait in repose or time to rest
For you were a person of life and need no other quest.
