Sense Sonnet - Acher

 May She Rest in Peace

She was only three years of age

When unfair cruelty came to her.

Through her body, cancer did rage,

Painful dying, attempting cure.

Most modern therapies were tried,

Chemo and radiation, still

In a matter of time she died.

Cancer in children oft does kill.

A friend of the family gave

A gift in loving memory

Of her, and set upon her grave,

Thanked by the grieving family.

As though in peaceful sleep is shown

Her memory in sculptured stone.
