In Celebration of 90 Years

Barbara A Cadogan 1944 (Barbados)

March 24 
You are the rock to which we cling
When tide would sweep us far,
A golden ray of hope you bring,
A guiding light you are.
A pillar through all of ninety years
Strengthened by mind and soul,
And a heart of gold that bears
Compassion and love untold.

Barbara Cadogan © February 1996
