Kelly Symons

She was the Rose of Penshurst shy in her ways though kind
A slender dark haired beauty to self promotion uninclined
The likes of her in Penshurst may not be seen for some time
So sad to hear she has died suddenly though still in her life's prime

The sad news on Kelly Symons so very sad to hear
She seemed so young to be deceased not much past her prime year
In life there are no guarantees one would have to suppose
In old Penshurst's saddest news for years the Town has lost it's Rose

Life it does have it's ups and downs it has always been this way
And sorrow and regret at her passing in Penshurst for some time will stay
So tall and lean and graceful she looked like an athlete
As fair a Rose as ever walked on the sidewalks of Bell Street

In the flesh never more to be seen in Penshurst that does seem sad to say
For each and every one of us a final night and day
From all of the cares in life she had in death she found release
The beautiful Kelly Symons may she now rest in peace.

  1. Francis, I wonder if I might have permission to reproduce your poem for my fellow classmates from Kelly's year at Monivae? Drop me a line if you see this, and we can chat. I was Kylie Slattery from Caramut.
