She is my Inspiration

My Sister is dying, of that I’ve just been told,
She has been here forever, although she isn’t old
She has got Cancer, and really hasn’t long to live,
And if Im sounding sad, I ask you to forgive.

She is my only Sister, I have two brothers too,
They are just as sad, and I am asking who,
Has decided it is her turn, to go to other places,
Please come to me, and show me all your faces.


She is a lovely sister, believe me when I say,
That she is coming close, to her deciding day,
I try to give her all the hope, that she can hope to get,
And yet, she is still dying, and no better will she get.

I write this poem for her, for her I love eternally,
I will not let her go , for I think of her continually,
She is my only Sister, and needs inspiring too,
If only to go where, she will be accepted unconditionally too.
