Original poetry....

Andrea from Eden Terrace

And so another light diminishes

Angular they said, not looking too long - enough to see you bow
So successful in her sport representing the school and all
I hear she inherited her speed from her grandmother
And so another light diminishes

Singer they said, not looking too long – enough to see you bow
the voice of an angel lead singer in the choir and all
I hear she inherited her voice from her mother
And so another light diminishes

Artistic they said, not looking too long – enough to see you bow
Paints pictures like the unspoken word on a canvas
I hear she inherited her talent from her aunt
And so another light diminishes

Successful they said, not looking too long – enough to see you bow
Takes risks like a formula one driver around a blind bend
I hear he inherited his talent from his father
And so another light diminishes

Individual they said, not looking too long – they missed you square up your shoulders
Dances like a leaf in a wild northerly wind
This they say, I inherited from my self
And in my light, their darkness diminshes
