The Quiet Hero

In Loving Memory on International Women’s Day

You fought a hard battle

With a quiet kind

Of strength

Fighting through things

That could have

Brought the strongest

To there knees.

You had this

Quiet strength

That spoke of

The life you

Loved

And the battles

You fought

With the quiet

Knowledge

That your time was short.

You shared your life

And your memories

In that way

That made others

Feel they were

Part of something

That mattered

And they were

The memories you

Created

In your short life

Both simple and

Profound

We’re far more

Cherished

Than the material
