Margaret was an artist and liked to write. Following is one of her writings.

Passing

Through ones life

Are people you forget

Like an imprint lightly pressed

But if they change your life at all

It leaves a deeper imprint

Some come to mean so much

They leave a searing scar

Others cut into your life

And leave an open wound

If the impression that you make

Is beautiful at all

You tend to gain

And learn to choose

Those that add and give you strength
