Remembering You (For My Sister) Poem by Meggie Gultiano

Remembering You (For My Sister)

Rating: 5.0


She was always up early before sunrise
Prepared her teaching kit and some provision
To catch an early ride is a prize
And to be with her students was her great mission

Happily she gave all her earnings to our mother
She have to save enough, no parties, no boyfriend
Oh, she loves us very much, she was a dear
She is a sister, a loving daughter, she is a friend

She loves to dance and sing at her heart's content
Even in the wee hours, we're on top of the world
I missed her every now and then
And my love for her that was never told

To a far away place she went
Life then was not easy to keep afloat each day
And so all her earnings she sent
And saved enough for rainy day.

Her loving arms always gives me the strength
Whenever i have struggle and pain
To be down on my knees and at length
And take up the Cross, be yourself again


I cannot hold her hands and hug her forever
God had taken her to her permanent home in heaven
But her beautiful memories will always linger
In my mind.. in my heart, she was a heaven sent




My special tribute to my sister Lyn

You have brought your sister movingly and lovingly to life through these tenderhearted words of affection and respect. Siblings are so important are they not, Meggie. They share our genetic blueprint and our history. They can never be replaced. You were lucky to have such a sister. Your poem is beautiful. Requiescat in Pace. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

You paint a vivid picture of a giving and happy sister, dancing and singing. Your appreciation of her flows in your words and and having a tribute on this site can bring joy of her life to others, as well as the remembrance to you. A 10 from me.
