Sister

We had our problems

That’s for sure

Drugs changed you

I missed the sister

That I used to know

But she was gone.

Wrote you a letter

Before you died

Told you I loved you

No Reply.

Somehow know you got it

That it meant something to you

My only sister.

Last week you died

Never got to say goodbye

It was very sudden my niece said.

Maybe I should have tried harder

Burned so many times

Just didn’t know which path

to take

Didn’t expect you to leave so soon.

I believe you are at peace now

Reunited with Mom and Dad

Whole again.
