The legacy of Barbara P 
Not in silver or in gold
But how she went throughout her life
She was small but she was bold

Her roots were from a mixed stock
Father north and mother south
She spoke with truth and knowledge
When she opened up her mouth

Her richness was her attitude
Worked hard to find success
If things attempted to go sideways
Was good at cleaning up the mess

She thought she was a feminist
But was most of all a friend
Always set a good example
For the women and the men

Was all of this and so much more
Love and caring, did impart
There was nothing fake about her
What she gave came from the  heart

Could have lived her life without me
When she said yes, I came along
We went through our lives together 
Danced the dance, and sang the song

We raised our one and only child 
She was all we were allowed 
She has daughters, that are now adults
All three have made us very proud

They live by her example
And maybe just a bit from me
They are the treasures of our lives
And are her living legacy

She lived her life upon her sleeve
With her caring and her  love
We should follow her example
She's now watching from above
