An Exceptional Lady!

Tribute to Marguerita.

By Stanley Collymore

 

The term friend and the expression neighbourliness

are perpetually and rather inappropriately, in my

opinion, overused and even cynically abused

with the primary intention of achieving any

number of specific and self-serving ends

by those who’re insensitively and most

calculatingly using them. However,

and most appreciatively so, not in

your case Marguerita; since in every imaginable,

customary and naturally expected way you’re

unquestionably the classic embodiment of

innumerable civilized virtues, which are

themselves, and transparently on your

part, intrinsically consolidated with

the on a daily basis, and altruistic

interpretation of what those two

previously mentioned key and

august human characteristics

essentially denote and also,

in point of fact, represent.

This poem was inspired by and is specifically dedicated in grateful thanks to Marguerita; a longstanding personal friend and a thoroughly exemplary neighbour. Thank you Marguerita for the several years of your excellent friendship and altruistic good neighbourliness.

 

And with my deepest appreciation too for all that you’ve excellent done, as usual, over these several years, have a blessed and Merry Christmas with its attendant New Year celebrations.
