Sharon



Words cannot describe...
the pain  I feel inside,
the pain that you were taken,
From each and everyone… why can't it be... a lie?

Words cannot show...
The anger I have within,
The anger I have for cancer,
With the pain and suffering... of all... it brings.

Words cannot express...
My hatred I have to show,
For the million dollar Corportation,
And to the pockets... it goes.

Words must be said...
To express your anger too,
Cause there's a cure out there,
Its out there… just demand it too.

Words cannot hide...
The tears I now shed,
For I was the first niece,
Of many... that lead.

Words are like families...
Friends of many kinds,
Sharing their stories of love
Of a Aunt…a sister….a mom… and a friend.

Words cannot be heard...
Like your laughter you used to bring,
Your voice will never be forgotten.
Through the silence… that life ... now brings.

Words cannot show love...
Like your hugs you gave to us.
Love is what you had most of,
Just enough... for each…and everyone.

Words cannot be written...
In this little poem to you,
To show how much you are missed,
By everyone... who loved... and cherished you.
