You were the lily of his valley
The wind beneath his wings
The woman behind the camera
So much joy did your life bring

Such an accomplished photographer
With so much respect from your peers
Your most untimely death
Would cause many to shed a tear

So devoted you were to your soulmate
Many love songs he wrote about you
So much love he had for his lady
For you there was nothing he wouldn't do

A partnership made in heaven
So very rarely did you leave his side
How radiant you both looked
On the day you became his bride

Life took you on many a journey
So many hills you had to climb
But you now faced your biggest battle
As your life was running out of time

The road ahead seemed long and winding
Your inner strength would shine through
But eventually your illness claimed you
There was nothing anyone could do

A camera now void of film
A fine lady now departs
But your spirit will live on
Inside many peoples hearts

This was written about a remarkable woman, the late Linda McCartney.I was inspired to write this after reading her autobiography which was a wonderful read.Thanks for reading this......Sue

Sue what a heartfelt poem and yes, she was a wonderful woman, all woman!  This was a tasteful, and extremely well done tribute her, it is a shame her husband could not see this.
