A Year Ago Today

It’s been a year since Sharon* died.

Though life’s continued on,

It’s not the same and never will be

Now that she is gone.

 

Yet all who knew her hold her close

With memories we’ve made,

So in our hearts, our thoughts of her

Burn bright and will not fade.

 

We’re never sure when we’ll succumb

To life’s strange ebb and flow,

But oh, we lost a special soul

Today, one year ago.
