Replying to a comment on:

Flower of Life (Free verse) by longships

You were a flower in bloom Brightly coloured in generosity and honesty. Surrounded by a large circle of family and friends Always smiling and laughing Eager to help Your home a place of refuge. You held the calmness of a still ocean And the warmth of a summer breeze Surrounding all with your kindness. A kindness rewarded with love from all that knew you Generous to a fault you gave with no thought of receipt. Yet now you shall be remembered thus As a flower forever in bloom

I suggest cutting half the words, which I think will make it twice as strong.

Sample:
Calm as a still ocean
Warm as a summer breeze
