Polly Ann Williams:
Your Cause and Mighty Heart Live On
When I awakened to the sad news that you were gone,
My heart was seized with shock as it shattered.
How could this be? You were always so strong.
What made you believed your life no longer mattered?
I never knew you, Polly, but always yearned to.
I marveled at your strength, your spirit and your will.
You let all of us into your heart as it grew
I can hear your hearty laughter even still.
When I read your last comments on your inspiring site,
I couldn't help smiling as you cheerfully said
You were finally updating--to continue your fight.
Nobody expected to learn you were dead.
I'm not one to get bogged down with negative things,
But, Polly, I just never saw this coming at all.
With a sad, heavy heart that tragedy brings,
I feel as though I'm in some scary, long fall.
Please know that we will take over your cause.
Your battles and hardships were never in vain.
You blazed a brave trail against incredible odds,
And the good that you did will come back once again.
Jane.
