Mary Carmel

A lovely name Crafted from the strings Of the heart of Mother Mary Drawn from the Garden of God A name that can ring The bells of heaven. A name that she lives up to A prayerful woman Always, always With a great heart Who cares for everybody Disregarding color and status. When she is around She reminds us That kindness always Makes a difference That kindness creates ripples Like the sea's gentle waves. A woman of many talents She can bring joy and music Anywhere, anytime She can play the piano Even the banjo She can play the drums The guitar and ukelele And sing to her heart's content The music of Frank Sinatra And Sharon Cuneta. And when she laughs Oh! heaven and earth meet Her voice is so strong So powerful It can create a roar Even a thunder. She is like a ray of sunshine That diffuses her light So evenly So tenderly Mary Carmel A jewel of humanity. Copyright 2021, Rose Marie Juan-Austin, All Rights Reserved
