She emailed me this morning. Her aunt had been battling breast cancer for a couple of years, and passed at about 5 a.m this morning. She was surrounded by her friends and family when she went...
My friend is a very nice person. She's always been funny and kind to me. I never met her aunt... but she talked about her. Apparently, she was the really cool aunt that always gave you exactly what you wanted for your birthday, and helped you with clothes, and stuff like that... She loved her aunt so much she was going to name her daughter Annie after her.
So... After reading that, I sent her this poem... That another DUer posted in memory of their cat.
Sleep in peace, Annie, sleep in peace.
Beautiful Land
Red is the color of a lot of lollipops,
Orange is any orange on a tree.
Yellows the color of a bag of lemon drops,
Green is a piece of seaweed in the sea.
Blue is the color of the sky in summertime
Indigo is a siamese cats eyes.
Violets the color of a flower in wintertime.
These are the colors of the rainbow skies.
There is a beautiful land
Where all your dreams come true;
Its all tied up in a rainbow,
All shiny and new;
But its not easy to find
No matter what you do.
Its not on top of a mountain
Or beneath the deep blue sea
Or in london zoo or in timbuktoo,
Or in timbuckthree.
And if you traveled the world
From china to peru,
Theres no beautiful land on the chart.
An explorer could not begin
To discover its origin
For the beautiful land is in your heart.
