CHRISTINE'S BLOG

Welcome! I love to write, and I love sharing what I write with my readers. I vary my style as much as I can-posting events, creative non-fiction, prose and poetry and the occasional video. Enjoy!

In Memory of Our 500 Missing and Murdered Sisters

By: Christine McFarlane

500 missing
500 murdered
Sisters

Too many to count
Their faces embedded
On photograph paper
One of the last things we have
To remind us that
They were once
Alive

500 missing
500 murdered
Sisters

Too many to count
But we will not forget
As we as First Nations people
March in solidarity

Our tears
Mingling with the rain
As we hear your names
Whispered in the winds

(In memory of our 500 Missing Sisters)
