""Delphia""

by S.A.H. - Pisces

"Delphia"


I met her through a friend of mine
Whose family I adore
A mother and a wife was she
A grandmother and more
She was a woman...meek but strong
That's what I most admired
Cause what I saw in her was grace
And I was so inspired...

Delphia...
You're what my heart thinks of
When mania
Clouds my thoughts of love
I'll remember you...and always hold you near
I'll never let your memory disappear

She never lost her will to thrive
Amidst unyielding pain
A love of God, undying faith
Her life-force did not wane
Nor did her loving, caring ways
To others and to me
She'd send me cards signed Grandma...
I felt like family

Delphia...
You're what my heart thinks of
When mania
Clouds my thoughts of love 
I'll remember you and always hold you dear
Sometimes I'm not as strong as I appear

Every time I saw her face
Though she struggled with her breath
I never once heard her complain
So steadfast until death
And in her passing she has left
A message in her place...
Of hope, of love, of strength and will
Of true inspiring grace...

Delphia...
Still you I'm thinking of
When mania
Clouds my will to love
I'll remember you and will always want you near
For because of you I've so much less to fear.
