Marjorie Grace Melander Krohn |
Fierce Grace
She was full of grace
Even her middle name shouted "Grace!"
Charm was her friend, elegance her teacher
Beautiful to the bone, she fashioned the atmosphere
Home, clothes, family
Full of humor borne of great tragedy
She laughed at life; looked misery squarely in the face
And said "No not me. You won't get me."
"Mind over matter" was her mantra
She taught her children to keep their chin up
Be their own person
Explore creativity
And embrace true friendship.
She was a woman who rose up
Fierce in her desire
To conquer anyone or anything that would conquer her.
I see her in my daughters. I feel her in me.
I'm so thankful for this woman who birthed me
And modeled for me a way to face life.
