Today is Sharon’s 7th survivor anniversary. Thank you Sharon for your contribution of this poem to mark this meaningful day.
So long ago
Only yesterday
Everything changed
But was there all along
Eyes open
Heart open
Heart ripped out
Lost many
Gained so much
Keep going
Full of gratitude
Never forget
Life
