To know Tracy was to know a committed optimist
An ever smiling young woman with a chuckling cheeky laugh
Warmly supreme characteristics that always abided within Tracy
Negotiating the drive to Perth from York was a challenge she overcame
She courteously accepted her dismissal from the local pharmacy
And proudly stepped up and won a place at the York Council
Even the mean-spirited nastiness of a near neighbour failed to dampen her resolve
Tracy always quietly beavered away; confidently determined to succeed
Her journeys through life were always onwards and upwards
Oh how she confounded so many!
An ever smiling young woman with a chuckling cheeky laugh
But York could no longer fulfil her life’s ambition
To Fremantle she proceeded —- and succeeded
To further complement a well-rounded future
She met and sashayed a shy young Angus
Who relished his life’s partner to be
And together they exclaimed their betrothal at a lavish party
Oh how she confounded so many!
But sadly her future was shattered; and not of her own making
Tracy, we ache for you and your youthful inspiring spirit
And this, written with a pen dipped in tears
An ever smiling young woman with a chuckling cheeky laugh
