Muriel, I can never forget that face
an angel in disguise, without the wings
but such love in her eyes

A force of nature so frail but strong
an empathy with those that did not belong

A lady that knew how it feels to be lost
no home, no love ones, no hope, no trust

With arms wide open she gave them the bread and water of life
a place to come to, a constant in their sad lives

You gave me strength, you gave me hope
you made me laugh, tears running down my face

You listened and bestowed your wisdom
with twinkle in your eyes

Thank you dearest Muriel for being such a good friend
and giving unconditional love to the homeless and vulnerable
right up to the end
