I miss someone I don’t even know.
And as the leaves fall,
I find out I’m youngest no more,
Someone special has taken my role.
I wait for them to bring you home,
your name is all that I know.
I miss someone I don’t even know.
And as I cut my hair short,
I wonder if yours has grown,
if the baby voice has drifted,
soft and unknown,
if your eyes still beg to play
and if your toys still watch you sway.
I miss someone I don’t even know.
And before your first words had formed,
your name was the only thing I could hold,
one street and some harsh words
made us live in two separate worlds.
I miss someone I don’t even know.
I prepare the last gift I can give,
a piece of me to leave a trace.
I know I’ve been naive,
to dream my love could find its place.
Yet I hope one day you’ll know my face,
and see in it a quiet embrace.
I miss someone I don’t even know.
Now I can only wonder,
how much your small hand has grown,
(how long until they tell you I have a headstone)
how many years have passed
(please, forget me fast).
I miss someone I don’t even know.
If one day you reach for me,
remembering someone you barely know,
the little one has turned eighteen,
as small hands have grown,
and your voice became your own.
We will tell the tales untold,
and for the first time,
your brother will be here,
holding the space you leave for me.
And as I await that call,
I’ll remain quiet and cold,
aching for the bond never formed.
Until then,
I will miss you,
my unknown dear.

Fair-Haired Hero
With graceful motions
You are a bird without wings
Dancing in the meadows
With daisy chains
Just as the sun is setting
And the beautiful light
Hits your gorgeous red hair
Making elegant flames dance
You are a Fair-Haired Hero
Fair-Haired Hero
Sweet as candy
Baby little girl
So loved and cherished
What a beautiful girl you’ll grow up to be
Caring and passionate
Welcoming to almost everyone
The hugs you give are told to grow smiles
The kisses you blow said to be magical
You are a Fair-Haired Hero
Fair-Haired Hero
I watch from afar
As you dance and glide
While the sunlight makes your red hair seem aglow
I’m the only one you don’t seem to be welcoming to
It’s me who you always frown at, never hug, and never blow your sweet kisses to
And it hurts my feelings until I see you dancing in the sunlight
I see your strength and your power
You are my Fair-Haired Hero.

My little sister
Came up to me
Hiding something behind her back
Her brown curly hair was a mess
And it was in front of her big brown eyes
She was smiling up at me
She told me to close my eyes
And hold out my hands
When I did I felt her give me some paper
She told me to look at it
She had drawn a little picture
It was her and me
We were standing under a giant rainbow
And a brilliant blue sky
That little drawing reminded me
Just how much little things in life matter
And how they can make someone feel

Khloe.
You've got the sweetest smile I have ever seen.
You have blond hair like I did when I was 2.
You have the bluest eyes in the whole world, and I hope they stay that way.
I want you to know that you look more like I do than the rest
of your siblings.
Your mom told me once that you'll never
be as pretty as Kendal or Kaylie,
because you look more like dad and I.
You're so shy, and timid.
That's not a bad thing; it means you wont get into very much trouble.
For how much your mom calls you stupid,
you're actually pretty smart for a two year old.
You get your brains from me.
You're beautiful.
You'll always be beautiful to me.
Be proud of who you are, little sister.
I want you to know that I love you, and I will always love you
with all of my heart.
I don't know when I'll see you again.
Your mom and dad made it pretty clear that I am not a part of the Downey family anymore.
And if that remains true,
maybe someone will tell you that not one of your
sisters love you like I do.
I'm gonna miss you out here, Khloe.
I hope that when you're older you'll remember me and find me.
That you wont be mad that I missed out on so many
years of your life.
I hope that when you're ready, or if you even want to,
you'll come find me and then we'll talk.
But for now, I have to keep my distance from your family.
So I wont be seeing you at all.
And it's extremely painful and my heart breaks a little more everyday.
But I know that it's for the best for me and maybe even for you.
Who am I kidding? It's what's best for your mom,
but we wont tell her that.
I love you, little sister.
I hope to see you sooner rather than later.
Love,
Your oldest sister, Jordyn.

I looked into your eyes and saw a beautiful mind, everything you look at, everything you touch, everything you do and say you do it in a beautiful way.
You, yourself are a beautiful person in everything single away.

she cries hearing your name
she cries knowing your not there
she cries at night thinking about you
she cries when she sees your picture
she cries not knowing if your coming home
she cries when she smells your cologne
she cries reading your letters
she cries when she hears your getting deployed
she cries when she hears your going to be gone for a year
she is constantly crying
she is your little sister....
