MARILYN MAXWELL
by Susan E. Smith

Marilyn Maxwell,
My mentor, my friend,
Sweetness and kindness
Without any end.

She'd help any person,
Those who learn and who teach,
Guiding them gently
Toward goals they could reach.

I miss her sweet smile,
Her goodness each day.
She'd always be there
To hear what you'd say.

Helping you find
Inner music to share,
She'd uphold your growth,
Remove every care.

Her faith in the goodness
Of people she met
Inspired them to greatness
They'd never regret.

Marilyn Maxwell,
My mentor, my friend,
Sweetness and kindness
Without any end.
