Sharon


For Aunt Sharon, my friend


I called her my aunt, but she was more
She was a friend who my heart did adore,
She was a helper in the time of need,
She was strong, yet gentle – tis’ agreed

Like a smile, she shined her light
Lifting hearts, Sharon was downright
Kind, understanding, inspiring, giving
She taught those around her about living

Like the sun, she encouraged the soul
When darkness came, she would console,
Never let a friend feel they were alone,
Some of the reasons she was called Sharon

Sharon, in Hebrew, means a fertile plain,
It is true – she gave more than a heart can contain,
She taught her children, her nieces, her house
Yes, she even taught her adoring spouse…

That love, my friend, will always win in the end
Love is alive, glowing inside – a light Sharon did tend!
