My dear sister,
You were so young when you left us
So fragile, so small
I wish I could have spent more time with you
My heart fills my mind with thick air of those days,
I spent with you in my arms.
The memory of your scent still taunts me.
I feel ashamed.
Ashamed that I wasn't there when you needed me
Bound by this burden,
This burden of guilt that holds me here.
When I should have been there, to protect you.
I still remember the bright smile on your face when your eyes first met mine.
The look you gave me, when I took my very first step.
You were such a bright child you loved to run,
And even wished to fly
Oh how I would have loved to watch you learn and explore this world you were born into,
Before they took you away.
I remember how you brought such joy to our shattered family
Indeed our hearts were so filled with your joy in those days
But now I stand here watching as they lay you in your coffin
And if I may id like to say ' you will forever be my big sister even if time tries to tear us away from each other. I will never forget you, and I know you will never forget me.
