Tribute to the late Carmen Edwards

‘Caring Carmen’…

That’s the name we knew you by
We hardly got a chance to wish you ‘Happy New Year’
Let alone to say ‘Goodbye’
How shocking it was to hear
“Carmen passed on”
How soon we bonded
In time so brief
How soon we parted
This time filled with grief
So filled with admiration
Hugs and smiles
Always caring, Caring Carmen
You inspired us
The way you took the challenges
When we thought it beyond us
You made us take our chances
Can we ever say thanks?
Maybe …...maybe in Glory Land!
