Ann Gilmour Poet Rhyme

Without Asking

some days it seems that all I see are couples holding hands
they stroll along the promenade or walk upon the sands
oh how I long to hold your hand 
and see your smile and deep blue eyes
           cancer took you without asking 
                                    cancer I despise...
