Carolyn

A beautiful flower swaying in the breeze
 Smiling beneath azure skies
 Her warmth came with such ease

 A gentle soul, a ray of light
 Carolyn always had a kind word to say
 To brighten someone's day
 
 Got her wings and now she soars
 Her poems live on for all to adore
 She's found peace on heaven's shore

She has "wings and now she soars" My heart is touched by this thought. I knew *Carolyn* for only a short time, her kindness will never be forgotten. Your words caress softly around me. Hugs, Brandy
