My Aunt Jo
The last of the old ones has died.
Youngest woman, youngest sister.
Taught by the wisdom of siblings
Equipped to watch and mourn
As they all withered and died
Feminine model for the mid-century
Trained to serve the sick, serve her man
Bear and raise beautiful sons.
Rewarded with beautiful grandchildren
She was grace, reason, beauty and love
Her quiet manner set a standard
That we all strived to emulate.
She embraced us all in her love
She is ever a significant element
In my life, my journey, my being.
