In the gentle folds of time's embrace,
A cherished soul now finds its resting place.
Gone from our sight, yet forever in our hearts,
Our Mother, our Nan, a beacon, from which love won't depart.
Her song danced like petals in the breeze,
Kindness flowed, a river through the trees.
In every moment, her warmth did reside,
A gentle spirit, a constant, loving guide.
With stories spun like threads of golden light,
Her wisdom shone, a beacon in the night.
Her embrace, a haven in times of woe,
A refuge where love and comfort would grow.
With tender words and her loving embrace,
She filled each moment, leaving a trace
Though parted now, she'll forever be
A song of joy, a symphony.
Though our tears fall like rain upon the ground,
Her spirit lingers, in memories profound.
For in each smile, in every thoughtful deed,
Her legacy blooms, a beautiful seed.
Though she has journeyed beyond our sight,
Her spirit dances in starry night.
In memories woven, her essence gleams,
In every thought, in cherished dreams.
Her legacy of love will forever stand,
In every touch of a gentle hand.
We bid farewell, though it's not goodbye,
For her love within us will never die.
So let us celebrate her life, her love,
Her spirit soaring like a peaceful dove.
For though she's gone, her essence remains,
In hearts that carry her sweet, cherished name.
Peace In Peace Nanny Mint,
