Caroline is looking rather fine,
While she dines and drinks red wine.
Caring and helpful are her strongest qualities,
She is always exuberant and utterly divine.
Wonderfully spontaneous and optimistic she is.
Every boy wants to make her his.
There is elegance in the way she talks and walks,
Leaving boys speechless and drooling at her feet.
She is neither dull nor uptight.
If she strongly believes in something, she’ll put up a fight.
She likes to get up and dance to the beat,
When others are eagerly finding a seat.
Even though she lives in the west,
She makes exceptions to leave her nest;
To travel and search for valuable experiences,
Every experience getting better,
Hopefully ones that she’ll treasure forever.
