Sweet Carolyn

moving oceans, one wave at a time, never whitecaps, no tsunami's in sight the roles she chooses, on stage and in life, with deft noble bearing, she brings truth to light her family quite large, no boundaries define, perfecting our soup, no cause will decline as time rolls by, your heart we'll hold dear, just saying your name, erupts deafening cheer! so count me among, your family stands ready, I'll follow you anywhere, your torch I'll hold steady! so let it be told, our Grandchildren should know, your recipe for life, in your image they'll grow ................................................. Loving Tribute To Carolyn Devonshire Entered in Constance's contest

Forever, let it be! A great family, PoetrySoup! James, your voice is immortal … thousands of years to come, you’ld still be here with these words marbled before the sun, or is it the moon: our own Carolyn? She wasn’t mistakenly born into this family! Sweet Carolyn, she deserves the words … plain, clean, sweet, & golden! Cheers! Canny.

Hi Jim, you are so kind with your words. I can't tell you how much it means to a loner like me to have made so many good friends here, including you and the other James Brothers! Love you and thank you so much! Carolyn
