FOR MAHALA
She left this world before we came
From the stone that marked her rest
Upon an ancient wooded crest.
Unrequired was graven stone
To make her earthly presence known.
Her strength of spirit long endured
Though the name had been obscured.
Relentless time is unforgiving;
It only burdens us, the living.
We scribe her name in stone once more
“For a loved one gone before”.
