Elegy for my Great Grandmother

All things die
In passage
Of much time

Bear no grief
Shed not tears
Raise your head

Open mind
Heart agape
Ears unshut

I begin
This, a sad
Elegy

Mourn not death
Praise only
Deathless deeds

Let these feats
Warm our souls
In ill times

Remember
Nostalgia
Thy passed kin
