Our Lady of the Sacred Grounds, Jehanah

You brightened my life these five years - with your gentle kindness, your welcoming smile, your shared love and worry for our sad sick world - you allowed us to speak our minds, as though we had something to say that pleased you.

You brought us together in the warm sunshine of your ever-creative mind - your good nature sprinkled affectionate sparkles from the garden that bloomed in your generous heart.

We were allowed to see how caring a group of humans could be through appreciation of each other, always with your sweet words for each of us - words that made us feel special and warm with the pleasure of being with eachother - with you - you've beaten us to the Fortunate Isles where we will hope to follow, some day, and be with you again.

Now you are free - a wood nymph running on cloven hooves of silver through the fragrant forest of Wyrd.
