Carolyn
Cynical, stubborn, smart, sensitive
Daughter to Mary O’Mara and Jeffery Shepard
Sister to her heroes, Luke, Scott and Nora
Cousin to nine months short of seventeen grandchildren
Who loves the limelight,
Being held by her Ma
Holding her sister
Who feels angry about 36”24”36” airbrushed
Hungry 4th period
Content behind the wheel
Who needs music
A partner in crime
To shave
Who gives advice to those who don’t ask
An opinion to those who disagree
A smile to those who don’t smile back
Who fears judgment
Loss
Relapse
Who would like to see Africa
A cure for cancer
Equal opportunity
Who lives in a mistaken barn, red and decorated
Shepard
