Below is a poem written for Candi by her sister Rose entitled "Entering the Ring":
When entering the ring
All shining and glimmering like a star
In her beautiful costumes
You can hear the whistling, clapping, and screaming of her fans
Then when her opponent enters
You can hear the hatred and booing sounds from the fans.
Finally, it gets on the way
But by no way is it for play
She’s in there not only to do what she wants
But also what her fans want
When she’s down, she’s not for long
For she has her fans to cheer her on
She takes the bumps
And gives the bumps
She gets bruises, and sometimes bloody
Which can be like a flood, but
She’ll never quit.
For in the end, the good old
Sun-set flip,
Will bring her victory
To not just her, but also her fans
Who love her dearly
For she is my one and only
Sister, Candi Divine,
A legend in her time.
