RoseAnn V. Shawiak Sister Poems

Devastatingly beautiful, peaceful soul and spirit lying in
cancer's embrace, dying minute by minute before our eyes.

Memories flash quickly in and out of our lives together
...

When you were born, stars were popped out of their
sockets with your loud crying.

You didn't like strangers - you'd yell at the top
...

Life circles abundantly, filled with love, holding hands,
eyes drinking, emptying souls into each other.

Altars holding wedding vows and holy prayers to those
...

Devastatingly beautiful, peaceful soul - spirit - lying
in cancer's embrace, dying minute by minute before our
eyes.
...

Playing bingo at Fort McDowell, enjoying the atmosphere
and fun.
...

When you were born, stars popped out of their sockets with your loud crying.
You didn't like strangers - you'd yell at the top of your lungs.
Poor Mom, you were such a cute little baby - but, boy what a pair of lungs you had.
At Christmas when we all got to sit on Santa's lap - your little face got all screwed up and out came the yells and crying - as the photographer got the perfect shot for the newspaper's front page.
