Connie Marcum Wong Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Caycay

A friend who is kind, wise 
      thoughtful, and generous,
A poet who speaks to the heart 
      and soul of the masses
Through her experiences of 
      this life and many others.
Her strong will encourages and 
      uplifts those around her.
A love for her family shines 
      like a beacon in the dark
Bringing joy and happiness 
      with her unconditional love.
The depth of her verse expresses 
      so eloquently her divine
Inner thoughts and desires 
      and shares how she cares.
A kindred spirit I have come 
      to know and hope our 
Friendship will continue to grow 
      and blossom over years
Of sharing sorrows and joys 
      through understanding ears.
She is a breath of fresh air 
      whose exuberance for life
Is contagious, leaving me with 
      thoughts of silver and gold.

Blessings on your birthday my friend!
Love, Connie Marcum Wong
