Tribute To Carolyn Devonshire

Caring woman, poetess, author, friend;
Always there with kindness until the end. 
Resident first-rate of the Sunshine State  
Ocean knowledge and love – part of your fate.
Lovely poems, contests brightened our days; 
Your novel also enlightened our ways.
Now your legacy has captured our gaze.

Deep water boating and fishing your realm,
Each passenger safe with you at the helm.
Visions of Devonshire - poems galore, 
On friends, nature, animals, war, and more!
Not one to shrink from helping those in need;
Saw contests on ‘Soup’ as a way to lead.
Heavy at times were the burdens you faced;
Inspiring poets with pieces you graced.
Rare, loving person whose years were too few;
Each day, dear sweet Carolyn – we miss you!

This is a wonderful tribute to my other favorite friend here at Soup who passed away in recent years. We both did acrostics of our person. Yes, Carolyn would gift me with rings and other jewelry because she had tons of it in her house and was so generous to her friends. I miss her. A fave for this and I hope she looks down and sees this tribute you created for her
