She was and is the essence of her name
Was, because my stay was an abbreviation
Is, because her aura speaks of her appellation
A sound and earthly spirit amid a bijou frame.
Her presence emanates love
As her lips kisses peace
An avid voyageur yet a seldom sighted Dove
Ascertained, her mien accompanies release.
And though in cherishment she stands
Her aroma allures you to where she lands.
So as I sing "Isn't she lovely"
Time sang wasn't she likely
But her song will always be, lively.
