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...?
