Donna Joyce Clarke, Earth Angel

With a 40 ounce in each hand
seemingly announcing her very age,

she more than likely felt much older
but we're all on a different page;

she breathed life in just like her cigars
deriving pleasure from each hue,

causing her world to seem so, colorless
except of course for her "shade" of blue.

She loved unconditionally, like any Mother
with a generous nature, with which to share,

explaining why she had so many friends
who miss her, and who really care.

Donna's peace was finally granted
on a dreary, wintery day,

because of those, who love and accepted her,
we'll feel her presence, anyway!
