Mary

by: Kat A. Fonell

I did this poem after my cousin Mary passed away

Cancer took over your body in a short amount of time

It was in your blood and nothing could be done

I just don't think I could go to another funeral, and here that bell chime

I knew the day of your death was to come.

You were just in your 40s that Monday night

When God came to your door

God took you from your husband, Glenn, and your two kids, Nick and Alex, that wasn't right

Now up to heaven you sore.

It was midnight when we got the call from Jimmy, your brother

He called to tell us you passed away

I feel so bad for your dad and mother

So many siblings and relatives will miss you every day.

So on Monday, out came the moon

And Mary, and that's when God took you to soon
