Alison's forty years aglow, A life of love and grace she sows. High achiever, reaching high, Underneath the vast blue sky. Mother to Desmond, full of care, In every moment, she's aware. Guiding hand and gentle heart, A work of art in every part. Thoughtful daughter, ever true, Playful spirit shining through. Beauty that transcends the skin, Radiant both outside and in. Forty years of joy and light, Our Alison, a constant sight. In life's grand and endless scheme, A daughter of our fondest dream.
