Will never forget the days spent
Even though they seem so long ago
and ever so distant. The photos in my
head are slowly fading. dispersing
wilting away. Someday my memory
seems to draw a blank and I can't remember
those last words spoken. Wish to go back
to happier times. The times you held me,
held my tiny pint-sized hand. Put my hair
in pigtails. Drew me pictures. You weren't
just a sister to me. You were like a third parent.
You cared so much about everyone around you
You didn't deserve such a hard life. I see your
beauty and your caring eyes every time I look
into the eyes of your daughters and son. And
I know for a fact you would be ever so proud
To know those are your children, growing up
into strong, independent people. My only hope
is that these memories that seem to be wiping clean
from my head will stay and not slowly fade away
I never want to forget these wonderful times spent,
with such a beautiful, caring, sister as you.
I don't know if this is really much of a poem, but more so of my thoughts on how much I miss my sister.
