My Inspiration
By: Meaghan Gonsalves

In what type of mortal can you find
Love, courage and beauty� it�s a one of a kind
This special human was better than the best,
This fourteen year old woman�s name was Tess.

Tess lived her life like a normal kid,
Until cancer took over, which it did.
Yet she continued to shine, care and love
Even though she knew God wanted her above.

Tess saw life in a very different way.
She lived every second like she was living her last day.
She taught me not to major on the minors,
That there was an abundance of things in life much finer.

When Tess knew it was her time to go,
We all cried, however she said no!
She said this wasn�t that sad of a thing,
Because the bells of heaven were ringing a joyous ring.

She told us she couldn�t wait to see us again,
And she made us promise not to think of her death as one of God�s sins.
Tess said please don�t cry and make my death a big fuss,
For she would be happy, in heaven, waiting for us.

God Bless Tess�.. My role model, love and most of all,
My Inspiration



�IT�S ALL GOOD�
