Dorothy's Elegy

Dorothy Julius holds our hearts,

Saddened so as she departs.

Stronger than we’ll ever know,

A thousand tears to see her go.

Her love eternal had no limit,

Not even time could dim it.

Her gaze could calm the soul,

Stronger than thunders roll.

Hands so gentle that they’d hold,

A toddler’s hands when they’re cold.

Songs to make us dance and smile,

And hugs for every grandchild.

Her bold spirit was so bright,

It led us through the darkest nights.

Gave us hope when we were weak,

Encouraged our voice to speak.

Forever a protector and a mother,

Never will there be another.

Fighting till the very end,

A will that would never bend.

Such a soul so precious to us,

Goes to rest, as she must.

She’ll spread her wings and ascend,

To heaven where we’ll meet again.

Father, Son and Holy Ghost,

Take our place and hold her close.
