My Sister (another poem, plz read)

We would go out and roller skate

We would have a blast

We loved each other

We were sisters

Sisters to the end

I taught you how to swim

And you taught me how to be strong

I will stay strong through whatever

Because that is what you did

You were my younger sister

But I look up to you to this day

You always wanted to come up to me to see how close you were to being as tall as me

When you were up to my nose you were so excited

You would always make fun of me because I couldn’t hoola hoop and you could

You went up on that stage and hoolo hooped your big heart out

Even when the music stopped and the guy came up with the microphone

You still wouldn’t stop

You called that bald doctor baldy

He was your second doctor remember?

Do you remember your first?

Of course you do

When he came in your hospital room you would light up

But when your second doctor came in you wouldn’t even smile

Your second comes in and you just point to the door

Back then you never wanted to talk

Because of that traic

And because of that retainer

You had a feeding tube

You lost an eye

But you kept standing strong

You kept standing strong

Even when that second doctor told us you had only 3 hours left to live

At 10 years old you were in a coma

That doctor said 3 hours

You lasted for 5 days

I still remember that last breath

I still remember that time, 10:05

I had to say goodbye to you

But it is never goodbye

Maybe I should have known that

But I will remember that goodbye

Because it is the worst goodbye I had to say

The hardest to say

It was hard because you’re my world

You’re my heart

You’re my sister

Forever and Always,

My sister
