In Memoriam
Aunt Eileen (Brandon) Giffen
April’s child, she arrived
with the hope of spring and
promises of apple blossoms and
summer raspberry pies,
streams fragrant with laughter
and melodies tuned to the robin’s song.
Hers was a hat of many feathers—
wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, friend,
farmer, business entrepreneur.
Her doors always open, her table
a banquet bouquet of home grown bounty
wild flowers, the sweet
scented fruits of her labor.
She was a listener, a doer—
present,
centered, poised, never imposing—
fully attentive
to all who came her way.
The last of five uniquely
fascinating sisters and one brother—
(my Dad, who worshiped
the ground on which she walked)—
Eileen was the
Mother Oak legacy
of our Ma and Pa Brandon.
Little wonder this snappy young gal
with the flashing brown eyes,
as pretty as pretty could be,
caught the eye of the
handsome young Frank
(whom she married).
With Frank came merriment
children, orchards, barns, hayrides,
chickens, swimming ponds, weiner roasts and
abiding faith.
Deeply loved and mutually cherished they
reaped to sow the seeds
of many a rich harvest.
Work well done,
she chose
to leave with the lambs of March
but will live on
in the meadows of my mind
winged within
a personal pantheon of angels
whose Light and Wisdom arrives
(when called)
to brighten the way along
this oft rough Earthly path.
