Autumn - Constanza

Autumn - Constanza
To honour Connie Marcum Wong
A lady graciously refined
Who's sadly left the world behind.

Autumn sings her annual song
Russet leaves bow down in prayer
In colourful seasonal flair. 

Sweet voiced angels singing along 
As harp renditions play in wait
To greet her at the pearly gates.

‘Twas the season you’d loved lifelong
May your place in heaven be blessed
By autumn at her loveliest.

Words to you alone they belong
Hark as poets read verse out loud
Tribute poems to you avowed.

Carry our love, a love so strong 
As you soar to celestial shore
To dwell with loved ones evermore.

To honour Connie Marcum Wong
Autumn sings her annual song
Sweet voiced angels singing along
‘Twas the season you’d loved lifelong
Words to you alone they belong
Carry our love, a love so strong.
19th September 2022

May golden slumbers kiss your eyes
Sleep peacefully in paradise.

Valsa George Date: 9/21/2022 3:30:00 AM Lovely poem on Connie intertwining her memories with autumn ! Indeed she loved autumn and its changing shades. Now sitting in her room in her celestial abode, she must be looking down on Earth to enjoy autumn and the leaves fluttering around, also her fellow poets reminiscing her through their lines of verse. All the Best, Belle....
