Conventional Lady


Astute and conventional was her way
Bound in her role for family loyalty
Unselfish love she tried to convey
Neglected desire for matrimony
Determined to accomplish her mission
Instilled the value of education
Against odds a potent ammunition

Leisurely showing her prowess on stage
Able to please had been our heritage
Unpleasant moments became savoury
Gregariousness innate to the family
Abundant music to heal the spirit
Numbed by loneliness no one would admit

Nonetheless to mould me was fruitless
A spinster out of me I would dismiss
Dressed in their old-fashioned way was gruesome
Even my smile was under their command
Leaden by rules I silently defied
A disgrace when counsel was cast aside.



ABUNDIA LAUGAN NADELA
July 31, 1920 - Nov.01, 1994
Aunt

(Acrostic poetry...names of people who are/were part of my existence (family, friends, acquaintance, etc.)
