On a visit to my Uncle Rick and Aunt Karen’s, we have found ourselves attending memorial services…
Though to a Doctor of English
these rhymes may be drivel
Karen has always inspired me
and spared me literary snivel
When I blasted an e-mail
about living in a red state
Karen’s was the first response
because she could commiserate
I looked up to Aunt Karen
over so many years
as a woman of independence
with the courage to face her fears
She has a keen sense of humor
and an intelligent wit
not scared to point out
when the village has an idiot
I love my Aunt Karen
and I really do miss her
I was hoping that on this visit
I would get to hug and kiss her
But instead I’m hearing stories
more than I ever did know
seems funny that we wait
until it is time to go
If there was one message
I thought Aunt Karen was giving
It would be to seize the day
because life is for living
to learn more about my Aunt Karen
