Tribute

She always had a bright smile for me,
and a tight hug too.
Her hands worked miracles
with colors and cloth, thread and needles.
She could whip up a creative casserole
and it'd taste like the best food ever!
Her patience and long-suffering gave her
wisdom. Lots of it.
She deserves this rest and peace now,
and hope she tells grandpa "hi" for me.

I love you Aunt Kara!
