Poem about a dear lady's passing

I attended a sad funeral today for an incredible woman who I loved very dearly. I turned my feelings and thoughts into a poem. 

💐💐💐

Because He Didn't Know You 

He stumbled through the recitation 

Of your bland obituary 

An itemized receipt of a life 

He called you by your birthname 

And not the one we knew 

He talked about your children 

And the grandchildren too 

But he said nothing of your friendship

Or origami money 

Or fried chicken 

Or the time you crushed saltines

To make the gravy we forgot 

And the way you did your hair 

With the white streak in the bangs 

Or the pink lipstick 

And the way you had a laugh 

That could have circled the globe 

Seven times over 

Or the time you brought me chocolates 

On my 11th birthday 

And how you and my grandpa 

Broke up over Silver Dollar City 

And the way you drove his car 

Nothing about The Wizard Of Oz 

And the hairdryers in the garage 

Or the cabin in heaven 

And the buffet table too

Nothing about the bows 

You got so mad at 

Or the raspberries you blew 

Or even the wedding my dad 

Had to have 

Because of you 

Nothing but an obituary 

And a Bible verse your daughter picked 

All this and so much nothing 

Because he didn't know you
