Our Yellow Rose
 
Like a yellow rose that’s blooming in Spring
with a brilliant display of life,
there’s a sparkling diamond in this group,
who shines like an Angel of light.

She came from a life of discouraging rejection,
struggling with her hearing loss.
Her heart goes out to the suffering underprivileged,
not counting the sacrifice or cost.

With dynamic personality she leads this group,
knowing how to get things done.
She never turns back no matter what the odds,
working til the victory is won.

But there is one thing that happens every year,
no matter how she yearns for a change;
on Valentines Day she turns one year older
Karen, we wish you a happy birthday!

This poem was written to honor
Karen Moulder, who at the time
was the president of the hearing
impaired support group
