simply by the way she lived
Living on

Simple was the way she lived
those many years ago
yet life for her had meaning
so many never know.
-
Many times she told us kids
no matter where the road
the travel is made better
when two take up the load.
-
To know to do and never
was looked upon as sin
and can't was just a battle
no one would ever win.
-
Never in a million years
would we have ever thought
such wisdom could be found
in simple things she taught.
-
Simple was the way she lived
and simple did she die
but we never will forget
no matter how we try.
