Aloha, Connie Marcum Wong

Aloha, Connie Marcum Wong

A fellow islander, here in the State of Hawaii
Plain common folks in touch with its aina (land)
Noticed by many soupers long before this tadpole swam the pond
Well-grounded, skilled with a pen, with a memorable persona,
In my view, I became a welcomed homey, charmingly receptive, in a comfortable regular confab of subject subtleties to filling, reflections of a lifetime,

From our friends to our families to our Hawaii ~~

                                          ...of a gorgeous floral lei, imagined or realized
                                                    ...both pales in comparison
                                                              ...Aloha always
                                                                        ...my blessings,
                                                                                  ...Connie
