A Penny For Heaven
A Penny For Our Thoughts
For Penelope Ann Thoms (Our Penny)
In for a Penny, in
For a Pound. So they say when they begin.
But Penny Thoms was more
Than any money or
Some other metaphor.
She was poetry, she was genuine.
She cared for the dying,
And brought peace to them, as they were lying
In their Hospice beds. She
Was Chaplain and would be
Bringing eternity
To their souls and to those who were crying
For a dying parent
Or for family. She was heaven sent.
As close to saintliness,
As could be. And she’d bless
Lives that were in distress
With her presence. Fading lives that she spent
Last days with, consoling
Them, their families, while she was bringing
Heaven to them. And now
She’s found it too somehow,
And ‘neath the golden bough,
She sleeps. And all the angels are singing.
