Sarah Poem by Kelley Collins

Sarah



It has been several years since
you were taken away,
The shirt you painted still hangs
from your very last day,
By the Christmas tree I sit so late,
remembering your smiles from my cookies
you so often ate.
Daily, I wish you were here
to hear your voice as you sing
and spread your loving Christmas cheer.
I still cannot help but wish it was me taken, instead, of you.
I cannot understand Gods gift of life; for,
without you it has been a deep shade of blue
I feel your spirit inside my dreams,
Since you were taken to Heaven,
I see you smiling and singing with our father it seems.
Sarah we love and miss you very much baby sister.
