It has been 26 years without you, my sister
Your memory will in my heart forever linger
Your death 26 years ago left me with blister
My emotions came pouring down with no filter
I dream every night hoping in my ears you can whisper
You were cut off so young and not given the privilege of having a mister
Death, where is thy sting? Why did you pull the trigger?
This is a strong blow below the belt for me, what a kicker
If wishes were horses, right here with me, you, I will prefer
Time heals all wounds but my memory of you hasn't gone dimmer
If only there is a visitation hour for a brief moment in heaven, I'd come for dinner
Holding your hand in the beautiful place amidst the glimmer
The thoughts of this alone down my spine it sends shiver
It is another year without you to reach
I can't believe it's already 26 years
Every day, there are no new word of yours to preach
Remembering you, your thoughts bring me to tears
But still, within me I have what you teach
Your beautiful smile still drive away all my fears
Your are better, nourishing and sweeter than the peach
You stood out among your peers
Your memory still looks fresh like yesterday
You were snatched away without a goodbye
Your smile will forever be etched in my heart
You are soft, tender, gentle and kindhearted
With me and how I hold you dear, you have not departed
And I carry you everywhere I go
And not a year passes without your thought dearest sister
You might be gone but you are never forgotten
Sing with the angels dearest, since you were one when you were here on earth
A day less to singing alongside you forever in the gold city
Sometimes, people come in like a breeze then roll out like a storm
Your passing was felt by all and hits worse than a storm
I love you.
Thank you for your time.
My pen doesn't bleed, it speaks, with speed and ease.
Still me,
My tongue is like the pen of a ready writer.
