With a feline grace,
she walks along the fence
and royally refuses
to give up in any sense.
She’s creative
and won’t allow
problems or surprises
to cause a cow.
She is patient.
Her pace is fine.
She’s at peace
with her friend, Time.
An excellent example of
realistic expectations,
she encourages me to
flow with the changes
that inevitably are part
of life to be expected
and while never giving up
still need to be accepted.
She teaches me by example
how to royally hold my chin,
accept life as it comes,
but never to give in!

When I asked my mother once what she felt the most important character trail to develop might be, she told me “the ability to adapt to change – because things always change.” And life continues to change. It is hard, but she manages it with grace. My brother said it has always amazed him how she has been able to stay upbeat and accept life as it comes, with so many many challenges.
