How to write a poem for Caroline,
make it sombre and make it rhyme,
What can be to symbolize her,
Something strong, fine to remember,
What’s the perfect flower
Gladioli for strength, lotus for power,
While bluebell her best,
Robins for luck, rebirth, happiness,
Transformation in spirit and soul,
Red Admiral, name says it all,
A quaint country cottage or luxury pad,
The classic mini, admired by myriad,
Homely boat, Royal Liner,
All these describe her
but nothing can compare
take your memories and share
lets not forget
her warmth, desire for people she met
her strong determination, her vulnerable plead
her zest with nature and jocular breed
yet oneness with outer perception in line
she’ll always be the loving Mother, the proud daughter and sister and the best of friends, remember Caroline.
so much love, Blade
