The fourth of July,
it used to mean
my family getting together
and hanging out.
But then my baby sister
lost her battle to cancer,
and her day of death
was the fourth of July.
Now, I can't celebrate
with the rest of my family,
the fourth of July
now means something else.
The fourth of July,
it now is, for me,
the day when I lost
someone very dear to me.
The fourth of July
is a reminder
of the day I lost
my baby sister Jessica.
