Something's Missing Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Life carrying on, children being born, families growing,
being nurtured by parents, Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles.

Everything set in place to live life, yet something's now
missing, someone who's desperately needed.

Tears of husband and children sloshing through the house,
wife and mother no longer alive, taken to heaven by cancer
that no one could cure.

A home now separated from the center of it's life, the one
who kept everyone happy, contented and whole is gone and
they are being scattered, each person alone in grief.

Unable to help each other, no longer finding the compassion,
love, the heart that had kept everything together for her
family through the years.

Gone. Left without saying goodbye because of the cancer
within leaving her unconscious and in a coma, her family
never to hear her voice of love again.
