Here lies one who took her chances
In the busy world of man,
Battled life and circumstances
Flew and fell -- and flew again;
Lost sometimes, but did not wail,
Took her beating, kept on flying,
Never let her courage fail,
She was fallible and human,
Therefore loved and understood
Both her fellowmen and women;
Whether wise or otherwise,
Kept her spirits undiminished
Never false to any friend;
Played the game until the finish,
Lived a sportsman to the end.
