Is That In Itself

She may never make the cover of New Idea But one of the town's unsung is a heroine to me The one who does many good deeds every day She works for the town's homeless without any pay A grandmother and widow in her sixty ninth year of life To her long deceased husband she was a good wife So gentle in her ways and free of conceit One of the most caring and kindest one would wish to meet A beautiful person in every way Any unkind things of others she never does say Short gray hair the wrinkles of time on her beautiful face One can say of her she is ageing with grace She works on behalf of the poor of the town Is that in itself not a claim to renown?
