3 Gone

by JL   Sep 20, 2005


Three deaths in a year
plus another with cancer
every night i pray
and every morning i get no answer

my dear departed uncle
suffered but died with peace
many hoped with his death
his brothers life would cease

Mr. Terry left 2 kids and a wife
when he abruptly died
seeing him in the casket
made everyone breakdown and cry

in pain for the last two years
dying alone in a hospital
my omie died, free at last
at 10 pm my grandmom got the call

Angelo got the news
cancer-it does not look good
or so the doctors say
accept his death we should

Relentlessly praying to heaven
day after day, night after night
everyone i love and hold dear
keeps on losing the fight

*not good but i had to get it out*
RIP Omie, Mr.Terry, Uncle Johnny
