Onilla (1961-2006)
by Robert Brow (www.brow.on.ca), Kingston, Ontario
far from home
in Vancouver
so brilliant
and lovable
could talk herself
into a job
again and again
she came back
to her home
in Toronto
but she couldn’t
stay for long
had to get back
to her friends
in Vancouver
this life failed
for Onilla
but in heaven
there is all that
she had longed
to be and give
of herself
