Tears I shed for a special soul
Who battled cancer with a smile
A smile that glowed
With rays of unbounding kindness
Cancer ravaged her body
Yet she smiled
Chemo weakened her
Yet she never complained
She coped with crafts
Sore fingers made wreaths, bracelets, and keychains
She could no longer work
Money was tight
Yet she gave gifts
Simple texts and hugs
Socks and mementos
Her radiant soul touched mine
I shed a tear of sadness yet one of joy
Dear Tiffani fly free
Free of sickness and pain
You were an angel on earth
Now an angel in heaven
You touched many
Your essence will remain
Within my soul
My life forever touched by yours

Hi Aimee,
Yes, beautiful, indeed!
My sister was that sort of person. Always giving with her constant smile.
Advice. Just a few words. I could hardly hear her, but never missed her smile. If we gave her a simple muffin, you’d have thought we brought her great riches. She was so happy about it, and savored it to eat later.
I miss my sister. We said the same thing about her too, “Fly Free, Carolyn.” I can definitely relate to your poem. Thank you for sharing it. So sorry for your loss.
