Among my memories She flew the winds on angel wings But left her songs on golden strings In melodies both far and near That many souls will stop to hear She walked away but left her worth On footsteps tread upon the earth So that those who cross her path Hear echoes of a child's laugh She skipped along a river's edge And hid behind a garden hedge I saw her mark upon a tree And underneath a bandaged knee She played in grasses of the field Where happiness would be the yield She left behind a teacup's fill Of daisies on a window sill She went to bed with peace of mind With good-night kisses pure and kind Before the hour of morning dew She left behind a prayer or two Jeanne left the strength of mighty oak Some childhood thoughts she never spoke A million kisses to be kissed A sunny day that will be missed For what was lost, so much was gained More joy she brought than grief or pain She left within each trembling heart A love that never will depart The greatest gift she gave the world Was when her little hands unfurled Her fingertips on life were such They left their mark on all she touched -- Submitted by Elizabeth Santos from Pottstown, PA e-mail: mesantos1@comcast.net
