TRIBUTES
Emily’s Big Love Did
not fit in any box,
Even
wearing mismatched socks It
was goofy and it was huge
It
spoke to me, it spoke to you’s (guys) She
was peaceable and yet on fire
With
a vivid imagination that never tired She
lived gentle, in demeanor often mild,
Though
determined she was to help each child As
Emily’s spirit makes its way free
She
takes a place in you and me Her
grin became a giggle, her chuckle might turn to sigh
A
wistful sound, a comfort you can’t buy Lean
on me, I think she’d say
If
asked how we can handle this day Forthright
in her word, her action and mind
When
I look for her essence what I find
Is… Standing
over here and sitting out there
A
strength that defies categories, it’s love beyond fear
Big
love in philosophy, big love as mystery
At
her best when she was sisterly, Emily. Leo
