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
