For Caroline
Background: I have always known Caroline as a demure yet animated lady. She is going through an unseen health condition, which is never something easy to endure.

For Caroline
She is made of chocolate and cinnamon
Sweetly vivacious with a hint of spice.
She faces a silent tempest inside
With nerves like fragile threads -
Yet her courage does not falter.
A hedge of strength her beloveds provide;
She is safe in their warm cocoon.
Against the velvety heavens,
The tiny pinpricks glimmer shyly;
She gently plucks them like seeds of hope.
