Jan Allison Poet Monorhyme

Notes About The Poem

Personal Memories

Ella is enchanted and tries hard to pluck the strings
Sweet music starts to flow as her Auntie Karen sings
What joy Karen brought to so so many different things
Precious memories in a photograph, oh what tears it brings
For Karen is now an angel, and she wears her heavenly wings
