102 was really 105
My dad had an aunt
who lived for 105 years. Can you start to imagine the amount of sharing someone
this old has to give. And learning now that she was coherent most of these
years, it just amazes me. I have a great respect for the old and what they
could teach us. I realize that often they may get on your best bone with the
constant repeats, but who cares; I have been watching the same Seinfeld reruns
for over 10 years.

102 was really 105 She
was my oldest relative alive At
the time of her death she was 105 Relatives
called her by the birth years that did accrue And
for her last 3 years, to Dad she was 102 Her
memory was great up to the end Gave
responses to questions and would always comprehend Life
over the time brought her a wealth of knowledge Experiences
she obtained was all from pre-college Now,
as I look back at her obit today Dreading
the thought that she’d pass away Our
lives were separate, we never shared Relative
stories or our days compared And
now I realize how much we lose Growing
away from our relatives never exchanging views Rich
was her faith in God and she lived by His way Exalting
His name and devoted in pray Auntie
to Very
old relative who lived in the country Except,
now she is gone, I feel the extent of my lost She
took away treasures I can’t buy at any cost A Tribute to Sarah
