Dear Sophy
You shone in so many ways ;
A flickering fire, a shooting star
And summer sunshine rays
Directing your pain all cylinders fired
to help save other lives
A woman of courage
Of purpose , of fun
An energy much admired
Guiding many to a confident start
Indomitable, focussed and very smart
Serious about your chosen craft
A lioness with generous heart.
The ripples of your pond now lie still
But the mists of memory never will.
It was my honour to have known you.
Marion Spencer
I hope one day we may meet again
