For Dorothy

Dorothy was one of the residents of mom’s
Adult Foster Home who passed away in
October 2009.


Gentle Dorothy sitting quietly in her chair
With purse in hand, waiting there.
Sorting through her many colors of thread,
Memories just out of reach resting in her head.

Gentle Dorothy sitting quietly in her chair
With purse in hand, waiting there.
Loving visits of family and attention received,
Always ready with an answer she truly believed.

Gentle Dorothy sitting quietly in her chair
With purse in hand, waiting there.
Seeing All, God has set in motion his plans,
To receive her quietly into his hands.

Gentle Dorothy sitting quietly in her chair
Is in heaven now with God’s grace there.
Sewing beautiful garments with her colored thread,
Looking peaceful and happy for all time ahead.
