EDNA
(dedicated to a loving friend)

An elderly woman of style and grace
        Never a single hair out of place
A tiny woman, so very petite
        Walked on air instead of her feet
Always dressed with real class
        Could have modeled for Bill Blass
She seemed so exceptionally thin
        Like a skeleton covered with skin
Relied on others to take her here and there
        Who it was, she really didn’t care
A small apartment in the bad part of town
        After dark, afraid to come down
Bourbon truly was her best friend
        Whom finally caused her life to end
Edna was so very kind
        The smile on her face, she left behind
