I realize this isn't really an ode, though. Couldn't come up with a better title at the time, and it was hastily written.

Ode To Mary Lou Sawyer


You were strong-willed and kind
But taken in your prime.
It's a horrible crime
That cancer so ravaged
And so slowly savaged
Your body and mind.

Dear friend, you are gone
Thanks to that vile disease.
But you will live on
In our hearts and memories.
