EVERYTHING A SISTER SHOULD BE
By beanerywriters(11,675)
Hundred of times I've said goodbye
as I watched you waving, smiling
in the early morning sun.
There was dew on the ground
the crispness of fall leaves scattered around
and neighbors just waking.
Having spent the weekend
I packed the car to leave
and walked down the driveway
when a inner voice clearly spoke;
"this will be the last time you see her"
I thought;
It's only my imagination - how silly!
We stayed up late that night,
talked and laughed until our sides ached,
found quiet companionship while reading and reflecting,
no strings attached, two sisterly souls perfectly matched.
While you slept, disturbing thoughts surfaced;
Mother's wedding rings, your Will
important papers, phone numbers - odd things
I wouldn't normally think about.
These strong urgings, I didn't grasp until later
when a concerned friend called,
unable to rouse you by phone.
Were you sick? Were you home?
Later, when someone unlocked the door
they discovered. . .you had been gathered
into the arms of angels. . .
Suddenly
unexpectedly
the winds of death blow without warning
on cloudy days and sunny mornings.
Uncomprehending,
overcome with disbelief
I descended into grief. . .
lay sleepless
staring blankly at the walls,
rewinding memories
of our recent time together;
the sound of your laughter
the love in your eyes
your sisterly concern
your quirky sense of humor
that lifted my spirits.
My beloved, irreplaceable sister
you were everything. . . ---written by Kathleen | |
