She shared her heart
Her soul and thoughts
She taught of joy
Peace and kindness
She was a friend and poet
Sent to remind us
God is alive and living
On the inside
She shared her spirit
Her light and laughter
She taught of love
That abides in the hereafter
Love this is wise, strong
And finds a way to keep on
Through the sorrows and pain
The worst storms that come
Even the dark that lingers
Through the struggles and fears
Always creating a sense of
Knowing the light will come through
Shining down on our hopes
With a prayer for something more
A second chance, a new dawn
The grace to keep going forward
Into a future who assures us
God is alive and living through us
She shared her light, her sight
For hues of kindness and inspiration
Faith that lives through despair
Guiding us on toward a morning sun
Who is buttery yellow and kisses hearts
With a feeling of completion
Never giving up on the hope that
Love will always be there for us
Pouring out peace on our heart and soul
That is like light radiating warmth
Healing every worry and discouragement
With a knowing that this life is only a breath
Released into the heavens where we shall be
When this life is finally gone
And, like Carolyn, we move on
To a joy that is beyond words
A joy that frees our thoughts
Keeps us filled with brilliant hope
And leaves us without any thought
Of worry, pain or discouragement
She shared with us, a pen of hope
And we can now share with her…
The pen of hope that she is better off
In a place where there is no pain or hurt
A place where God’s love shines brighter
Than anything we’ve ever known or thought
With love that is beyond our wildest dreams
Love that completes us in a way we can believe
Is like feeling an inkling of what it means to be
Loved more than anything – in a way that is
More alive than any encounter we’ve ever dreamed
Love like this is meant to be shared
And I believe Carolyn is sharing that love
With the keeper of her soul, the One who knows
It is only through love that we can open the door
To our heavenly home and the miracle of Jesus light
Radiating hope, inspiration and insight, the miracle
Of love that is beyond words or poetry
A love that is living, breathing, seeing
Into the heart of our need for Him
She shared her heart and soul with us
Now we can share our prayers for the hope
That she somehow knows of our loss
And smiles… because she was loved
