You could not see but you saw everything

You could not hear but you heard us all

You could not walk but still flew higher than everyone

You had no children yet had so many

No floaty dress, no sky blue hair

You were a fairy godmother to us all

If God put angels on earth then you were surely one

A beautiful soul

Named perchance for St Francis who cared for all living things?

Perhaps …

We will not thank you Frances for that would offend you

Your deepest joy was to give –

Not receive

No never receive!

How shall we remember you?

With love

A warm, deep, kind, gentle, comforting love

No, we cannot thank you

But will always hold your memory as

The Sweetest Gift Of All

Goodnight Frances
