ELEGY FOR MY UNCLE CYRIL by Krystal Volney
In memory of my Uncle Cyril Volney who died from a rare brain disease, for Alex Volney, C.J. Volney and my Aunt-in-law Maryann Volney.
In sorrow's hollow shades, I loved my Uncle Cyril too;
He lived a life so nurturing and was a person to look up to.
His soul so remarkable, his heart so kind;
A brain disease stole him, in his prime.
In Canada's vast lands- A man of discovery where he lived a simple life;
Dominica was his home too, a strong survivor of Hurricane Maria- he's now in the Afterlife.
His personality was lovely, a person who fought evil with Light.
His wisdom served like the moonlight, in the darkest nights.
His calm personality was like the placid seas.
He was a great father, brother, cousin and Uncle- a story to be told.
His voice was profound, his heart so bold,
He had a love for his family at reunions, it never grew old.
His soul now dances with angels, in beautiful Heaven,
His memory lives on as he left this world with a nice lasting impression.
His spirit is strong; he is remembered for caring for others so freely,
He was a man so rare, an individual of glee.
But alas, his time on earth was brief,
A cruel destiny, a rare disease;
It took his life, in its cold grip,
Leaving us behind with memories, so respected and deep.
We miss him dearly- we'll hold his pictures and videos tightly
In our hearts, his fatherly love will always glisten brightly
For Uncle Cyril, a genuine man who lived a life so true,
This is for him- our adoration will forever shine through.
