Jackie's Cove
Hello! I am glad you could make it to my little corner of the web to check out my writing. Everything you see written here will have been written by me unless otherwise marked.
I am happy to say that i have been been accepted to have a poem of mine in a contest. That poem is this one:
Cancer
He's been gone for almost a year now
The bedroom that had been filled with his laughter is
Now gone
I remember how you would lay in bed
Your eyes squinting with misery
The corner of your eyes had creases
Making you look like an old man
Your body would shake in little tremors
He's been gone for almost a year now
His love for life would never show what was happening
To him
I remember how you would never wince when
You took those long steps up to the Ronald
McDonald house
Knowing what pain was to come
The kemo and radiation therapy
The long needles that silently stabbed you
He's been gone for almost a year now
His clown-like personality will never make me laugh
Anymore
I hoped that I would see you one last time
But our lives were so far apart
And now he's gone and I'll never be able to say goodbye
I remember the day you died
So young yet so old
You only said a few words to your parents
And then curled up into a ball and fell asleep for
Centuries to come,
