Her wisdom is with me from decades ago <br />The marvellous old sagess that i used to know <br />The wisdom she imparted with me does remain <br />And in my flights of fancy she is living again <br />With the long departed she forever does lay <br />But i still can recall the wise things she did say <br />A role model of my childhood one i did admire <br />Her insights and wisdom others did inspire <br />She is not remembered in the big World out there <br />But people like her are and were always rare <br />Honest, down to earth and so wise and so kind <br />Her equals to say the least would be hard to find <br />Since she breathed her last many Seasons have gone <br />But in the memories of those who did know her she is living on.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-marvellous-old-sagess/
