Carrie
in honor of Veronica.
I came across ‘Comes The Dawn’ while I was travelling in NZ with my sister. We were in our very early 2O’s in 1990 and someone had written this beautiful poem on the base of the bench seats in the common room of a ‘Pavlova’ Hostel in Queenstown. The words meant a lot to us then as young women. My sister had them written out for me and framed for my birthday the following year. They have been part of me my whole life and now I’m going to share them with my 20 year old daughter on her 20th birthday. I’ve lost my sister, my best friend. But this forms one of my happiest memories of her and our travels as young women. I’ve only today found out that Veronica was the author so now I thank her spirit for her beautiful, meaningful words. 🙏🏼🌟🤍
