fare-thee-well nancy
in the image above
you were past your ninetieth year
and yet
how vital - how keen - how confident
those eyes
o - the beauty
of a life lived unafraid
of a face
granted permission
to age - with grace
may your capacity to live - and give life
inspire a spark in us all
who hope to follow
in your wake
...
