Sher-Bear - Written by Kathy

This is a poem written by my mom's cousin, Kathy, in honor of my aunt Sherry. She was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2004. She was 43 and a breast cancer survivor.

You went to sleep so peacefully

And woke up at Heaven's door

Your darkness has been replaced

By a light

That will shine forever more

We'll see that light

When we think of you

Even though our hearts will cry

Knowing Heaven has our "Sher-Bear"

To brighten Eternity's sky

Now Heaven's been graced

With your sunshine

Now Heaven's been blessed

With your style

Now each time we glance toward Heaven

We will think of your beautiful smile

You went to sleep so peacefully

Not long after your storm came through

Your fight this time

Was far too great

That's why Heaven sent for you

They say that God only takes the best

And now we know that's true

Because "Sher-Bear"

For no other reason

Would He take an Angel like you.
