Nancy’s Poem
Nancy. Eyes like crescent moons,
Striking green like fresh grass on a cool spring day, A smile that warms you up like a comforting hug,
Wispy brunette hair that arcs gently below her chin, A helping hand when you need one.
Her face, glowing like a shining light bulb, Her words, energetic and bouncy,
That laugh, echoing far and near for the world to hear. A short life that she cherished with every day.
Her smile is the sun, shining down on the earth. Her tears are scarce, but they're like the rain.
Gloomy, landing softly, like flower petals. Soft and quiet, but noticed. Nancy.
