Here is my first slice of life piece. Getting brave and sharing my writing with the world. This piece is for a dear friend we lost too soon this week from cancer. Her imprint on so many lives will be missed greatly! Tessie
Jill
Gone is big blond hair
No more is strong voice in the room
Missing is her smile and laugh
Left are her family and friends
Heartbreaking
Not knowing why she had to leave so soon
Leaving us alone
With only our memories
And the light she lit in all of us
To be a better teacher
To be better reader and writer
To be a better person
Forever in our hearts

Welcome to our slicing community! Your first slice was a tough one to write, but I can sense how the mark Jill left on many lives through your writing.
