Tribute to a Modern Day Gypsy

Ten years ago today my fabulous mom raised the white flag in her vicious battle with breast cancer. She fought the disease with the same passion and energy she lived her life. Today is a day of celebration for a beautiful women and a beautiful life.  

A Modern Day Gypsy

She took the road less traveled -

Passion floating into the night.

A nomad with her caravan,

A drifting gypsy’s flight.

Called by waves crashing

And the tangy wet breeze,

She curtsied to the “good” life

Then pirouetted for the seas.

A southern gypsy belle,

I emerged from her seed

Floating near the breakers

With a wanderer’s need.

Hovering in the clouds

Her legacy she loaned,

Being blessed with the Son’s light

And a gypsy spirit of my own.

a tribute to my momma

I'm pretty sure that Betty Anne has a blender in heaven for all the fabulous celebrations.

Love, 

Miss Fanny
