Life is taken away too easily
People take advantage of time;
They forget, they regret, they do no cherish.
How my life was changed the day
I was taken away.
You never know how many peoples
lives you touch, until you are high in the sky
Watching those tears fall.
What I would give to kiss my Keith again
What I would give to tell all those who
Grieve that I will always be there for them.
I wrote my last poem on bunnies
Through the bunnies I am with the world.
As I hugged my bunnies, the disease
Filled my soul touching every part of my life.
the green enveloped my feet and fingers
and travelled throughout my body.
I slipped into a coma
I fell apart, my kidneys failed, and
God decided it was time.
