Shirley Ruth Caron Poems

I graduated from high school when I was eighteen years old
I had received my diploma which was like a treasure of gold
I could not attend College because my family was down and out
My life was full of hardships - as for my future - I was always in doubt.
...

The Sun shines bright with it's golden hue
It's domain is the sky - so azure blue
The mountains with their majestic peaks stretching towards the
Heavens above
...

I am an epileptic - I've had a hard and stressful life
All I had come to know was heartache and strife
The hardships that I've encountered over the years
Has always left me down and out, and drowning in my tears
...
