Are You There?
Often, when it's late at night
And no one's 'round but me,
My mind will travel back in time
To my sister's memory.
Sisters can be annoying pests who hog the bathroom and borrow your clothes without asking but admittedly, they are always there for you when times get tough and usually, they are your best friends. Sisters are always ready to love, comfort, and defend you. They are lifelong friends you can count on until the end. In fact, the only force powerful enough to cut short the friendship between a sister and her siblings is death. The loss of such a special relative can be particularly painful, but holding dear all of the precious memories you shared will help you to cope.
Often, when it's late at night
And no one's 'round but me,
My mind will travel back in time
To my sister's memory.
I am enjoying all your poetry - keep it up. I am a fellow scribbler in retirement...
Best wishes,

Like twins, I feel I'm one of two.
Struggling here sister without you.
Why, oh why did you have to go?
My heart is sore and it pains me so.
Four years have now passed,
my hearts still not whole.
Pieces forever missing,
with your death, they were stolen.

She was my baby, fragile and small.
She was beautiful, like a little girl's doll.
She was older than I, but so quiet and weak,
And when I heard to dire news, I wept
That was a very sad poem. Yes, losing a sibling can be difficult. I just lost my sister last month, the first out of five to leave. It can be rough, but we know God is with us to help us...
Awake, I'm thinking of you.
Asleep, I'm dreaming of you.
I'm thinking and crying,
I'm sleeping and weeping.
So many questions running through my mind,
I am suddenly unable to speak.
I hear your voice on the other end,
Your cries turn into shrieks.
Alice, God gives us strength to endure. I, too, lost a sister a little over a year ago, and the pain is indescribable. Daily I struggle not to reach for the phone. I fight back tears more...

Little Megan went to heaven and a tear fell from my eye,
But now my little sister is swinging from cloud to cloud in the sky.
I lost a sister that I love like the sun rays love the land,
I closed my eyes,
Felt the warmth of the sun on my face.
All the grief and pain
Was simply too hard to erase.
Ramona,
To say I am sorry for your losses seems honest and heartfelt but somewhat hollow. My heart hurts for you. We grow to accept loss is a part of the circle of life, but certain losses...
What could I have done
To be the one
To help you through your darkest hours?
My younger sister, number 3 of our family, was a very polite, down to earth, and kind-hearted lady. Three years ago she was diagnosed with cancer. She had a complete treatment and was cured,...
I am just a girl who misses her sister.
I wonder if she's missing me too.
I hear the wind when everything else is silent.
I see the horizon when I stare straight ahead.
