she loved
she loved a cold wind and a snowy day
she loved a fire to warm her stay
she loved strawberry frozen ice drinks
she loved baby smells and baby stinks
she loved the smell of fall leaves burning
she loved the mountains and the beach
she loved the little ones she could teach
she loved the lake and loved the loons
she loved grey and rainy afternoons
she loved driving and seldom stopped
she loved to shop until she dropped
she loved her dogs and romance stuff
she loved to watch "Eight is Enough"
she loved the full moon and Northern Lights
she loved to cuddle on winter nights
she loved country things and ruby rings
she loved her mom and she loved her dad
she loved the sister that made her mad
she loved the helpless the hopeless and the
weak
she loved the simple who could not speak
she loved her friends of many years
she loved to stand and face her fears
she loved country inns and well made meals
she loved to hear the sounds of children's
squeals
she loved soft and simple girlish things
she loved packages with bows and strings
she loved Christmas more than old St. Nick
she loved taking care of those who were
sick
she loved to help in any way to make life
easy every day
she loved to smile and had a great one
she loved those she met on any street
she loved an after dinner treat
she loved being hugged and getting kissed
she loved more than one man can list
she loved me
and now she's missed
