Father and then husband to desertion
Adored siblings to untimely demise
Vivacious Mother lost to perversion
Of graceful age retreat and time’s reprise
A son to undetermined primacy
A shadow daughter‘s need-ness they surmise
Cannot demolish that sweet vibrancy
She spreads her wings to rise and rise and rise
