In autumn's gentle, golden light, Evie celebrates her seventy-first flight, A retired nurse with a heart of grace, Who saved lives in her caring embrace. Her best friend by her side, A poodle with a joyful stride, Together on pensioned days they wander, In memories and dreams they ponder. For Evie, life flows like a healing stream, A tapestry woven with love's bright gleam, Her years a testament to compassion's art, Each beat of time, a legacy of the heart.
