To Elle My Sister
A star guides the tree to grow.
The conifer protects the birds.
Flycatcher on iridescent wings
catches mosquitos and spiders.
Then the nest where she sleeps
fills downy fuzz with love.
Our sister surrounded by
the songs of the star
the wind going free
the bird in the heavens
as Elle taught us
about
love
We are the protectors
of the nest forever
infinite.
My sister went to heaven last night 8/1/2023 with grace. Ellen Gerardo Borlin Smith will watch over us. Her husband, family, and giant posse of friends now have a speed dial to God when a prayer needs highlighting. #gliobasoma is a son of a gun. Elle fought hard and taught may people along the way. She wanted gifts to go to her reading foundation at Mariners Elementary School in Newport Beach.
