WHY, O WHY

WHY, O WHY.. ?

(in memory of cousin Maria Helena)

I seek for
Words
To write my feelings 
But they have 
Taken flight...
The only emotion 
I find is shock.

A true gem
Got stolen 
From my life!

The gem sparkled
With wit and sincerity
Bravery and sensitivity...

The Jewel
Was a true
Lady!

Her stories
Were told in 
Huey details 
So, when she 
Told them
One felt as though ⁰

One were living
The tale...


O Jewel, stolen away
You're the treasure 
Out of which 
The richness of life
Is made!

Whý, o why 
Did you let
Yourself ģet
Taken from life,.
Away...?
