Francoise
she's gone
memories
come flooding back
a life time ago now
a terrible sadness takes a grip
our little group
will follow suit shortly
one has left already
tis a reminder of a time
when we young convent gals
stuck fast at the bottom of the world
determined to excel in French
gain language scholarships
move to Paris
marry French men
alain delon look alikes
eat croissant for breakfast every day
didn't quite work out that way
two of us married English men
we all went our separate ways
but i do know this
that all of that group of
giggling gerties
yet serious academically
will be affected by Francois Hardy's passing
she meant so much to us
merci ma cherie
Alain Delon.....60s heart thob
Oh, I can so relate!!!
