A Poem for Carol’s Family

Sunshine glows where memories stay,

In golden fields where horses play.

Their manes dance in the gentle breeze,

A whisper soft among the trees.

Friendship blooms like flowers bright,

In morning’s hush and starry night.

With laughter light and hearts so free,

A bond unbroken, eternally.

She rides on wings of endless light,

Through pastures green and skies so bright.

Her love remains, her spirit near,

A guiding hand, forever dear.

She swings her club with steady grace,

On rolling greens, a peaceful place.

And twirls upon the ballroom floor,

With joy that echoes evermore.

So let the sun rise, warm and true,

With love that shines in all you do.

For Carol’s touch, so pure and kind,

Will live in hearts and dreams aligned.
