Your name said it all,
Radiating gladness ,
Amidst sadness,
You were a shining light,
Your strong voice and petite frame,
You weren’t to blame,
You did your best,
Given the circumstances,
Y0u didn’t wallow in unhappiness,
Staring into pointlessness
Puffing on a cigarette,
In total denial,
While heavy with child,
You tried and cried,
But you were a proud woman,
Your name radiated gladness,
You smoked and joked,
Your humour shone,
Your children adored you,
From this world and beyond,
Your legacy lives on,
May the angels sooth your soul with joyfulness,
Your name radiates gladness,
Your time on earth is done,
Sleep peacefully Gladys. By Dorothy Maude.
