[Oe List ...] Jann's sun has shifted forever

[LAURELCG at aol.com]

Dear  Ones,
Alice Baumbach put  this on my facebook page today:
"SHIFTING THE  SUN

When your mother dies, say the Irish,
you lose your umbrella  against bad weather.
May her sun be your light, say the  Armenians.

When your mother dies, say the Welsh,
you sink a foot  deeper into the earth.
May you inherit her light, say the  Armenians.

When your mother dies, say the Canadians,
you run out  of excuses. 
May you inherit her sun, say the Armenians.

When  your mother dies, Say the French,
you become your own mother.
May  you stand up in her light, say the Armenians.

When your mother  dies, say the Indians,
she comes back as the thunder.
May you  inherit her light, say the Armenians.

When your mother dies, say  the Russians,
she takes your childhood with her.
May you inherit her  light, say the Armenians.

When your mother dies, say the  English,
you join her club you vowed you wouldn’t.
May you inherit  her sun, say the Armenians.

When your mother dies, say the  Armenians,
Your sun shifts forever,
and you walk in her  light.

--Diana Der-Hovanessian"

 
Here's the  obituary my niece, Michelle, and I wrote this afternoon. 
(Spacing is  weird. Can't figure out why.)
