Jennifer

Saltwater from her door a short walk away
The woman who lives down at Coronet Bay
A poet and singer songwriter and a lover of life
She once had a partner though she was not his wife.

Her songs are her children for she loves to sing
And to it her voice has a beautiful ring
To happiness the gift of song always lead
And the heart without song is a cold heart indeed.

She is close to if not fifty though she looks younger by far
And she sings unaccompanied without a guitar
And people like her spread the bubbles of joy
She has such a rare gift one that money can't buy.

And for her there's always a lusty encore
Her audience in one voice they beg her for more
And Jennifer to sing one more she never seems shy
For to entertain others she seems to enjoy.

She walks along the quiet beach at Coronet Bay
As the sun in the west sets at the gloaming of day
With a song in her head birds sing on coastal trees
And the scent of the sea in the freshening breeze.
