Welcome Judith, lovely poem about how terrible disease can end a precious life and make childhood not so carefree after all.

Thank you for your comment Sheri. This poem was one of the ones I wrote to help me get through my little sister's struggle with cancer and eventually her death. ~J~

I don't know why, Judith, but I have missed your poems in the past. But after reading your blog, I have been reading your poetry. This one in particular...hit me between the eyes. I will pay more attention to your poems....excellent writing. You have been on a difficult journey, however I admire your style. ~ Carrie
