In Buffalo where snowflakes twirl,
Aunt Dorothy’s hair a silver pearl,
Eighty-eight years, her stories unfold,
A sister, a friend, a heart of gold.
Through daffodils that brave the frost,
She finds the poems she thought were lost,
Each verse a testament to faith’s embrace,
In her eyes, timeless grace.
Her laughter dances on the breeze,
Like whispers through the autumn trees,
In weathered hands, a world of dreams,
A life well-lived amid life’s streams.
Here’s to Dorothy, guiding light,
With poetry, she takes her flight,
Boundless spirit, forever free—
A cherished aunt, a legacy.
