For Debbie and Carrie

by Betty Jo Tucker — Read all 96 poems by Betty Jo Tucker

Like millions of others, I am shocked and saddened by the passing of Debbie Reynolds and her daughter Carrie Fisher. Below is my poem for two of our brightest show biz stars.

Friday, December 30, 2016

For Debbie & Carrie

Mother and daughter passed away.

But brightest stars they’ll always stay.

Debbie and Carrie earned a place

in our hearts and can’t be erased.

Their talent and wit made them great.

Entertainment became their fate.

Lucky are we who’ve seen their glow

which now shines on in TIMELESS flow.

Rest in peace, dear Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher.

Extraordinary talent. It was very shocking and that they passed one day apart tells me how profoundly close they were!

Short but sweet. I'm so glad that they were able to make that documentary that will be coming out so that we can learn more about their lives and their lives together.
