Carolyn

Though waves of tears have washed you now, unto another shore, a precious echo of your heart, to Whom your poem implored 'Lord, let me embrace him once more, Before You carry him home', Penned as rushing tears crashed flooding, life's sorrowed silt and loam Carolyn, your poems now read, penned through your loving hand Times of sunshine Or Days of rain fell way' like grains of sand Rest in Peace sweet poet now forevermore. Though poets pen has tearfully, with sorrow, been laid down The words you wove together are a golden poet's crown, Now as we ponder poetry that you have left behind, Tears fall, our hearts are mourning as we are so inclined, Yet you're released to heaven's mercy Of Creator's love sublime You entrusted in a prayer A loving Lord you could not see, Behind you lay life's sorrows now that veil of misery Onward walk dear Caroline in heaven's wonderous peace Upon the blessed waters Beside a crystal sea And the joy you find Forever there will never ebb or cease Written for Carolyn, Rest in Peace dear poet ~ B.J ~

Thank you SO, she was very gifted. Thank you also for stopping by and leaving a comment. I hope you are doing well. I have prayed for you for the months you were absent from Poetry Soup, I am so glad to see you back. I missed you. Seeing you back is such a blessed answer to my prayers. I am not able to be on here nearly as much as I wish, and interact with those poets on here that I so much appreciate. I appreciate your comment and your presence back on the soup very much. Hope you are doing well and having a good week.

how beautiful your tribute is, BJ. You ought to find a poem of hers, copy and paste it and then submit it to my current contest, telling why you like it! Anyway, thanks for your sweet comments on my poems last night too!

That is hard to choose, I am amazed by so many of them. I use to deem myself a poet, now sometimes I wonder as I read those of the likes of hers, and so many on the soup, I am blessed, and humbled. I do wish I did comment more, then as now. The one I tried to focus on was the prayer for her brother, but also tied in her obvious love of the ocean. She caught big fish with her fishing lines, and she caught hearts with her poetry lines. Thank you so much Andrea for your sweet comments to me <3 I am blessed

This is beautiful, a light to pierce the blackest darkness, a sigh of hope and a reflection of affection. You've written such a joyful inspiration that it soothes away the grief, sweet friend. God bless you always and you are loved, in prayer, Gina

Thank you Lindsay, a truly sad loss to poetry soup. I would be very sad at the loss of any of our fellow poets. I think as poets, we are more empathetic to life and death, and so many things. Her poems live on, here on the soup as well as other places, and that is such a precious gift. A sweet legacy.
