Poem 3

  • When I wrote this one evening, I had no idea what it would come to mean to me. The first person I shared this with for the reason it was written was a friend of mine after she was diagnosed with cancer. She passed away from the illness, but she said this poem ment alot to her so I share it now with you all.

     

    "I can not tell you what you want to hear,

    I can only tell you not to fear,

    I can not tell you it will be alright,

    I can only tell you to not give up the fight,

    I can not tell you it will be a brighter tomorrow,

    I can only tell you there is an end to sorrow,

    And when the day comes that with no words will your tears end,

    I shall cry with you till your heart is ready to mend"
