In memory of a remarkable woman

In sweet remembrance of my dear mother-in-law Nonnie Ras.

A woman so strong, our own Joan of Arc

Rose up amongst others to conquer the dark

Never once did she hesitate, always took the lead

Walked at the front, she knew what we need.

Today she decided to take another leap

Just another step, on a warpath ever so steep.

She entered the world where the sword has no meaning

For now she can rest in a life more appealing.

A mother at heart with tender understanding

She knew when to pause when her boy-child was stumbling

Her daughters she taught to be woman of note

This remarkable woman that life could not smote

Suffering for you did not come from the pyre

The pains that you bore in your heart you acquire

Steadfast in principle for that what was right

Now you can rest, it’s the end of the fight.
