Sometimes I See Her

Sometimes i see her in the park off of the street And she gives me a cheery hello when we meet Ann in her late eighties with a charm of her own Of life's good and bad days she is one who has known To her late husband Joe she was a good wife Ten years ago to cancer he lost his battle for life Their only child Jim as a twenty years of age man Came home in a coffin from the war in Vietnam Ann who has known in her life laughter and tears With the Salvation Army has been helping poor people for years Always willing to help people who are mentally and financially down Though sad to realize people like her are never the celebrated of any town Of her a beautiful person is all i can say She is one i see often though not every day.
