In Memory of Karen

In memory of  a young woman:

who never let her unhappiness
slip from every smile she ever wore

who held a lot of patience and dealt
with everything that ever crossed her plate

who had been looking for something all her life,
but never found it
instead she wrote about it
hoping someone else would help her find it
