Cotton Grave. ( Narrative of a person who was. She was strong at heart. She was.)

She found her peace atlast. Life wasn't kind. Now I know death isn't always harsh. So much pain. Suffering. Always the kindest words. Always hope. Seeking help by the day. She was the most fragile of creatures. Might not be so cultured in an educated world. But she knew her manners with words. So much patience. A weak woman being tougher than any diamond. She was the kindest to me. She wanted me to help her to the warmth of a family. I couldn't. Death came in the coldest and darkest of winter. The grim reapers embrace must've been wanting for anyone. It must've been warm. Now she's free of suffering. Free of seeking the promises of life. Peace atlast. A believer she was. I hope she reaches the lands she was promised. She left her shelter so selflessly for the pilgrimage. Athiests and believers could agree she was foolish with the barter. So blind hearing false promises. People should be kinder. Infinitely more so. Nothing matters now. A heart so naive in its oldest days, yearning for kindness and Acceptance. A body so weak yet standing. She never stopped the good in her. An admirable quality. One shouldn't fathom to collect money for her own funeral, while broke for food and of blankets midwinter. She paid her meager debts, to leeches all the more. I was being fed feasts of fragrant meats and fruits, dry and juiced. She was joked of while sipping lemonade in the harsh noons of the equator summer. Her throat so dry...yet she kept asking for water. Just a bite of leftovers...a gulp of water to carry. She did live off crumbs. NoOne should in this day and age. So many showed her a merrier garden to stay. But they said, you must travel the highways of diamonds. Barefoot! She did so. Still they blame her for not making a life out of her coarse journeys. It doesn't matter now. One of my biggest fears is my elders turning at the mercy of others while I'm still capable. Begging to be precise. I can see now that it was happening before me. I couldn't see it then. It's too late now. She has found peace. I am glad for her.
