"Something beautiful is given to you

for you have received life itself

but you make it so difficult

and then life gets hard

so choose to be yourself

in this large crowd of people

show what talent you are

Show it now, not if or when."

Lena Frank, born in 1953 in Karlshamn, successfully ran a fashion store in her hometown for 25 years.

After a life crisis, Lena also began to express herself through painting and sculpting, but above all, writing poems, reflections on life and its meaning, short, simple messages with wisdom that go straight to the heart but can be oh so difficult to live up to, in the sometimes complicated life.

Lena Frank passed away suddenly, May 2021. The film below is in memory of her joy of life, commitment and creativity.
