Elaine Dworkin Obituary
The Wall
By Elaine Dworkin
Oh wall that's lived
through ancient days…
And been restored for now.
A talk with you is my wish today...
Please guide me toward what to say!
I'm supposed to wedge within your cracks
my wishes for life to come....
My dreams...my strivings….crys...and prayers...
All that I think this day.
How can I wish for more than I have?
How can I pray for more?
I'm trying to put it simply…
A universal prayer...
A world of understanding….
Where children can live and share.
I ask not for a future of sunshine...
For that's an impossible dream.
But merely a balance of good and bad...
A balance of right and wrong…
A balance of my way and your way…
To make this universe strong!
And so with this prayer
I'll fold my thoughts.
Tucking them safely away.
Being happy to have what's
already been said...
Being grateful for what has come forth.
Being humble for that
Which I presently have….
And for that which
I want even more!

Dear Dworkin family, your mom was a sweet loving person. She always found the good in everything. She always smiled. Her eyes sparkled. She helped so many people through her therapies and caring. She loved her family, I was blessed to have her and your dad as good friends and to know all of you as you grew up. God bless. May your memories of her and your dad always be a blessing.

Dear Dworkin Family,
Thinking of you all during this sad time of loss of your mom, grandma, and great grandma. She was always a very colorful figure in our lives growing up and a great and special friend to my mom and dad. She will be missed. We will remember Elaine fondly every time we look at the photograph she enlarged for my mom that hangs front and center on the porch at the beach house. We are reminded often that Elaine took that picture. Love and virtual hugs from our family to yours. Fondly, Beth and Steve Jacober
