In Praise of Ava

for Ava Kobrinsky

And let's not forget to Praise Ava
She's the Lady to Savour
She's the One who brings Flavour
To the House of Music Royalty
She's the Lady of Loyalty
Who turned Mitch's Dreams
Into Practicality
She shared her Family
With the Hungry World
And in the Bright Glow
Of her Warm Embrace
We the World's Orphans
Unfurled
We learned about Grace
We came into our Space
And now she's been made a Widow
And we too have been made
More Lonely
We miss Mitch
The One and Only
Who made us feel Rich
But we still have Ava
She's the Lady to Savour
She's the One who brings Flavour
To the House of Music Royalty
In the Bright Glow
Of her Warm Embrace
We the World's Orphans
Have Unfurled
We've come into our Space
We've learned Joy and Grace
