Notes About The Poem

Connie's Illustrious Legacy

I am the mother tree that spawned the seeds of you.
"Connie Marcum Wong"

 
What a mysterious merit! What marvels will you inherit? They are highly sweeping and dainty, All the graceful leaves fall so faintly What a lovely tree; Connie's lyrics are lost for us, the mystery of life is what you discuss. Comments that are about to prevail, Heard and avail. Shades are the glory of your birth and state, Death hits kings, there is no refuge from fate. And give up the muttering breath, When pale beings crawl to death. Only the just deeds, all heads must come, The dust blooms brightly, in the chilly tomb.
Her last comment was 08/28/22: Congratulations on your winning Triolet my friend. They are a challenging form for me. I think I have written maybe two ever. Have a great weekend.

Death spares none. It didn't spare Connie too. But she lives among us in our hearts. All these lovely reminiscences proclaim aloud that she cannot die.
