A Poem By 13 yr Old McCartha (Known as Jazzmin at this time)

It was about the first funeral I had gone to.

Inside the coffin

Where my great uncle lay

I saw him peacefully

For only yesterday

He had  talked

He had walked

Inside the funeral home

The atmosphere was sadness

It was pure madness

The sadness, a heavy quilt

Suffocating me

Making me cry

Inside my heart

I hold memories

Of when I had to leave

And go

Away from my family

I hardly remember

My uncle, Fransico

I try hard, but

It never goes

I cannot remember

Uncle Fransico

Inside the coffin

Where my great uncle lay

I saw him peacefully

For only yesterday

He had once walked

He had once talked
