Her unrivaled present, by far, in life.
Nothing possibly could upstage it.
It wasn't wrapped.
There was none of the frippery.
This one had been drip-fed caringly
and generously from birth.
This gift was intangible.
One woman's loving contribution.
What a privilege, what an honour.
Giving of time,
was one of her greatest gifts.
A slice of life we'll never get back.
Her benefactors bereaved
No words needed.
They'd lost their creator and life supporter.
Her giving was done; her allocation of time was over.
