Loudest words spoken

There was once I knew an eccentric woman,

Though some may have called her strange,

Her actions were the loudest words spoken,

Each person she met experienced a change.

For some it may have been passing,

For others a lifelong trek.

For help she never was asking

On others she’d rather check.

Her love for her family and friends

Was more than words can express

To each event she was bound to attend

And she always had the best dress.

Though she is in heaven, smiling from above,

I’ll always remember that eccentric woman

Who taught me that family was a labor of love

And that actions were the loudest words spoken.
