Losing Sharon

The world’s a little colder; There is less we can rely on Without the ready shoulder She would offer us to cry on. The family’s less together Since we’ll miss her calm demeanor For no matter what the weather, In her presence grass was greener. Now our lives have lost some luster As our mourning days have started And it might be hard to muster More than being broken-hearted. *My dear sister-in-law, Sharon Ferguson, passed away unexpectedly last night.

Too many take Boxing Day literally (including my late wife)! But now she is safe from COVID-19! Be happy for her! Aloha!
