Best Poems Written by Rilyn Rodgers

A Ceaseless, Eternal Grief

We bereaved-
Loved our child since she was conceived. 
Doctors declare she was diseased. 
We sneezed and she was seized. 
It’s hard to breathe; I don’t know if I can proceed. 
They say I need to grieve. 
It’s just too hard to believe. 
Cancer is a thief. 
I have only one thing- a guarantee that she received peace. 
Forever will l squeeze, that her pain was eased. 
Carmen is free, indeed.
