Voice

Her Voice full of love
Made birds sing
Clouds clear from skies above
Battles faced and
Children lost
Broken Voice now
Is the cost
Lullabies once
And children’s tales
Measured happiness
When all else fails 
Barbie dolls and 
Maybe Ken
Sad and lost 
A likely end

This poem cries real tears, Kelli. I can't say it better than Richard L: 'Artfully sad.'
