On another poetry site, a contest asked participants to write their own eulogy, so here is mine. 

Caren was a poet, an artist, a painter, a player. She played mostly with children For they delighted her All the days of her life Her own children grew up, so she taught school So she could play with other children She played them chess, board games, word games. She loved brain quest games especially. Caren was a gamer. She played about four hours a day. Scrabble and Words with Friends. She had many real friends too. Most of them know she wants Puff the Magic Dragon played at her funeral. She loved the 70’s, being a hippie, and Helen Reddy. Especially “I am Woman.” She was fun, funny, and fantastic. I know because I am her muse, Trixie. Yes, she named me. That is how she was.

Beautiful self-eulogy, LOL! You must be my twin, Caren. I have the same likes and interests. And I love the 70's music. "Help Me" by Joni Mitchell, and "Move On" by Loggins and Messina are two of my favorite songs from that era. Wonderful poem, dear friend. Love and more love always.

I have to say I was from a small town in Iowa. I had no inkling of what that meant. Still don't.

I am so glad Barbara. Have fun with it! Best for us to do it ourselves, so we know it's what we wanted.
