Cheryl Hoffman Poet Rhyme

Nothing Lasts Forever

A family tree together forever
bonds we would never sever
seeds sprouted the tree grew
seasons changed, came and flew
forthcoming years had no clue,

Cancer came making us shiver
older branches died and withered
death brought us much sorrow
leaving hearts numb and hollow
we're here today, gone tomorrow.
