Poem

Death took you like a sneak thief
Just before Autumn gold appeared
The time of year your soul revered

Proving that life is all too brief
The loss too vivid to comprehend
My beautiful gracious lady friend

 O magic of a single Autumn leaf
 The beauty of your soul in heaven rests
Away from strife and life’s tempests

It isn’t  enough to quell my grief
But your memory lives in my heart
Especially in Autumn’s works of art

Death took you like a sneak thief
Proving that life is all too brief
O magic of a single Autumn leaf
It isn’t enough to quell my grief

Dedicated to Connie Marcum Wong
A beautiful friend and Mentor who I will always miss.
