What dreams you may have had
Hope
Ambition
To heal, to help
At first to learn
But a poets soul cannot be silenced
Words were to be your medicine
The scratch of pen on paper, your lifes rhythm
No easy path you walked
A fairweather friend was joy
Your family suffered
Your life was changed
But still your gentle spirit thought,
And wrote,
And loved.
Though fate was cruel
And days cut short
Never did your heart give in
You loved even as your life slipped away
Beautiful poet
Beautiful soul
A thing of beauty will be a joy forever.
