"SHARON"

Your photograph haunts me
in dreams of innocence
I picture you
Miss. Tiny Tot of Dallas
smiles and flowers
eyes ahead towards the future
Not seeing the end
that last sweltering day in August
belly taut with expectation
High up in the canyon
floating in the pool
Madonna who never held her child
26 years and all thats left of that life
are photo's and the movie's
and the memories
