Colorfully Confident Constant Connie

Colorfully confident, self-assured, constantly unrestrained a bit crazy,
Constance Connie fit into no one else’s scheme of things -never lazy.
Creativity careened from her child-like cauliflower cranium-born caul.
She is continually competent, cousins crooned, proud to speak of her to all.

She was expected to do great things, and creatively she did them for sure.
Her heart was golden, and her Bambi brown eyes confident and pure.
She was a philanthropist, and gave so much of herself to others.
 Cancer got her, but we are still speaking of her kindness, as are other mothers.

Connie did the 'can-can,' as in I can; I can! And she did. Nice alliterative tribute, Caren. Cheers, Gershon
