A Year Ago Today

A Poem of Loss

Aunt Chris, and Nonna…Image from Authors Albums

Eight days before Christmas 2021, and three days later we would loose one of her sons…

A year ago today

We said goodbye a

Final farewell.

You fought

So hard

A battle you

Valiantly fought

Until the end

But still death

Came knocking

In the night

More than thirty

Years after

You first heard

Those words.

You must

Have done

Something right.

I was your niece

You were my Aunt

But there was a pain

In that too

Somethings

Just never felt right

But death helps

The living put

Things in perspective
