My Heart Aches For You Poem by Ronel O'Reilly

My heart aches for you, my dear
friend, your tremendous courage,
persistence and fighting spirit are
admirable and left me speechless
on many occasions

Your strong belief in your god has
saved you numerous times from
taking your life, the closeness of
your family rejuvenates your spirit
on a daily basis

When you're gone, your absence will
not go unnoticed, an empty place will
be left in my heart - but your song
will live forever

If there is a purpose behind physical pain
and suffering, please tell me what it is -
everywhere little candles are burning
in remembrance of loved ones who
lost their lives to cancer - and those
who are still fighting for survival

Little candles might evoke a feeling
of care and sympathy and bind us
to shedding tears
