Ten Days

Ten nights have come and gone since she made her wishes known --

Subsequent mornings have come and gone since they started this new and unknown path --

And, on this morning,
the tenth one,
she most likely left with Vivian and
most definitely went home to Jesus.

Our world is blessed tonight for her having been in it
and
Our world is less tonight for her having left it.

We are more for having her with us
and
We are less for having her gone.

And Jesus is with each and every one of us --
On this side of the ten days and on the other side -
Now, Aunt Maggie's eternity.
