Dear Sisters: I Miss You Poem by Almedia Knight-Oliver

As I sit looking out the window watching the going down golden sun and
pondering how much I d like to talk with you today; there were so many
things we didn't get to say- -Oh well, then I'll just have my say:

BIG sis, it's been several years since your ill-timed death left me in grief.
I'm awfully sorry I couldn't stay with you in the emergency room that night.
I kissed you on the forehead said good night and would see you the next
day then you told me to come early...will you forgive me for not staying all night.
But you departed earlier than I could get there, leaving me grieving and missing you still!

little sis, I'm sorry for not apologizing for not talking with you for two years…I hope you felt the same way too.
I regret you were all alone when you left that morn and left me wondering why you drew that artificial line between you and me!
During those years trapped between your words of lies and mine truth rather than insanity or sanity, it's the latter that causes me to weep alone knowing that line cannot be redrawn!
Yet, I love you still and believe you loved me too in an unsound way!

Still I sit pondering why I'm raising the dead from rest, encountering storms wet and and ruins: we lost three brothers of five to stupid tragedies and the other two naturally and now, two out of the original four sisters are weighed down by regrets: the could haves and wish I would haves are wearisome as all get-out!

But love remains the Hope Diamond that we two sisters will cherish eternally…
