A graveyard of dead trees
Fallen leaves of vast red and orange seas
Squirrels scurry before winter strikes
As children play while others pass on bikes
A harmony of the trees an the wind come together and sing
As a bird chirps then stops to clean it's wing
Children shrieking and screaming as they play
Angry armies of cars roar past, then fly away
Memories start of when I was a kid
Only broken away by time an what it did
Sitting still only in question
Of who I am and to what is my impression
I laughed . . . I played here
I was happy unknown of fear
But then reality again breaks memory's connection
Only to be lost again, still unknown of my reflection
I will remember you forever,
I will never, ever, forget you!
My dear baby sister,
I will remember you forever.
You died to young,
way too young!
You had cancer,
Lymphoma, I believe,
and you were unable
to win your battle with it.
You were only one years old,
and I was five years old.
One years old
is way too young to die!
I will remember you forever,
will you remember me?
Will I see you again
when I die?
We had this amazing bond,
and it seems like you knew
that I truely was your
big sister.
I will remember you forever!
I will never let myself forget you!
I've been asking mom
about your cancer,
trying to find out
as much as I possibly can!
I want to know
as much as I can
about this cancer
that took my baby sister
away from me.
I always wonder
what life would be like
if you had survived the cancer.
We always gave you
everything you wanted,
so you'd probably be
pretty spoiled.
You were also
very hyper,
just like me!
You had ADHD,
and were actually
more hyper than I was!
I will remember you forever,
I will never let myself forget you!
I miss you so much,
and it's quite painful!
I want to be able
to talk to you,
and hold you in my arms again!
I will remember you forever,
I will never let myself forget you,
my dear baby sister!
Remembering
the day we met
my heart skipped a beat
life took on a new dimension.
