Rog's Rhymes~~~Yet My Friend






Yet My Friend

She has turned a brittle, final page,

cloaked in the somber dregs of age

Not one would guess her youthful glory

nor she ever speak her fabled story


Silently through azure piercing eyes

defines what intellect within her lies

What has taken her exceptional being

and left her mute as if never seeing?


Oh she of sparkling wit and iron will,

she is yet my friend I perceive it still

Yet we shall not talk of great and small

for sadly she has, long ago, left us all


This is written in honor and memory of a very special friend of nearly fifty years. Zelda Ann Karamitroes has been the best friend to my wife my family and me for many years. She introduced my wife and I. Her sparkling wit brightened her restaurant she owned and operated for forty years in Mason City, Iowa. Her many kindnesses' to her friends, her customers and her employees will never be forgotten. The infirmities of age have robbed much from her and stolen a wonderful friend. God bless our precious memories.
