VANCOUVER EASTSIDE MISSING WOMEN |
|
|
Poem written by Shelly Hallmark for her sister, Helen
You will never be forgotten Or erased from my mind You didn't have the best life But to me you were one of a kind
Your picture reminds me everyday With memories of the good times we had The love you felt for our family Even though your life was so very sad
The happy way about you The kindness that you would share To all that were around you Even when you were in despair
Your eyes showed the sadness Of the many years of pain You stayed away from your family So they wouldn't feel the strain
Your lifestyle was not sought after And most looked down on you But you made do with what you had Where most would not continue
All of a sudden you went missing We desperately looked around We knew something was terribly wrong We wouldn't stop until you were found
The most important thing to us Was that you were alive When you stopped calling us Something just didn't jive
Hopefully people realize their acts of judgement Were so carelessly misplaced And now they will see the daily horror With which you were faced
Although we couldn't protect you You were always in our heart And that is all we are left with For now we are apart
The saddest thing to have to fathom Is the brutality of your demise How someone could just take your life And watch as your soul dies
Instead of saying goodbye I will have to say so long Till we meet again my beautiful sister This will be your song
