POEM
A True Yorkshire Rose
How can I find the words to compose
That would describe my true Yorkshire Rose
There are so many,
Its hard I admit
But here are a few,
she was full of Yorkshire Grit
Strong and determined,
stronger than I
She encouraged others,
always to try
All that she gave,
was never less than her all
A white blooms in God’s garden,
brightly and tall.
