Everyone knew Chloé
So generous and kind
Ever poised and proper
And very refined

Always lending a hand
To anyone in need
Not expecting a return
Never knowing greed

She never judged
Nor assumed
And where she went
Friendships bloomed

If you were sad
She’d wipe your tears
And was always there
To squash your fears

And through her mouth
Came only truth
She never lied
Nor abused

So, let’s vow to be warm
And not so snowy
The world would be brighter
If we were like Chloé
