A star who shined
A devotee of wine
The diamond who danced
A smile at glance
Sinful, a scowl
Sparkled the eyes
Color and candy
Are what filled her life
Round until dawn
How I remember thee
Laughter and kisses
But even more free
She would never steal the rain to thirst
If she knew her loved ones
Needed it first
A blood sister link
Still in our hearts
She's probably dancing in heaven saying
"Why did the party stop?"
For this star shines bright
Upon her children, grandchildren
Upon their children, who?
For generations to come
She will shine on them too
I speak of no star made of heat
But one made of passion and keen
This dazzling star has a name,
And it's name is Rose Marie
In memory of my Aunt Rosey
