I Miss You, Little Sister

I Miss You, Little Sister

cd3879cd.jpg

I miss you, little sister, 

And though it's been a while, 

I still can hear your cheeky laugh, 

And see your winning smile. 


Looking through my photos, 

Of my many Yogya stays, 

You are in so many, 

Always cheerful. Happy days!


Then I heard the news today, 

That everybody fears, 

"Little sister's passed away", 

I was moved to tears.


You were taken from us, 

To a place we all shall know, 

But your time was early, 

Way too soon for you to go.


Happiness has gone now,  

Only sadness stays, 

Nothing seems to matter, 

In these tear-filled passing days.


Yet, we should remember, 

When our loved ones slip away, 

That their spirit still lives on, 

In what we do and say.


I miss you, little sister, 

And, though it's been a while, 

Angels share your happy place, 

And see your winning smile.

Heartfelt condolences for your loss, Ken. It's always hard to lose one so loved. But there is nothing for it, except to remember that what makes the loss so hard is what you had the good fortune to enjoy for a time. And nothing changes that... or the memories.

Ken Boddie, What a tear jerking moving poem. Such a beautiful tribute to your sister. I'm so sorry you lost her, how long has it been? I believe as you, their spirit of our loved ones does live on and if we are quiet enough, we may even feel their presence, if even in our hearts- no one can take that from us. I can't imagine how much you must miss your sister, deepest condolences.

The greatest truth of those whose love has permeated our blood, bones and being is in "When our loved ones slip away, That their spirit still lives on"". Ken Boddie you are blessed to have had a relationship like this that soaked through to your soul and the there is no price to that because we cannot call the deep grief and loss we feel that accompanies that, a price. It is called love and your poem tells me that you were blessed in sharing it. The winning smile is within you now as you feel this great loss. Condolences to you and thank you for letting us all to share a piece of your heart. In this sharing I hope it comforts some of the great sorrow, for you deserve that, because I think little sis's poem would probably read "One heck of a great brother who shared a life with me that gave me my winning smile". Your poem expresses a great love rapped with the sadness of losing someone whose time it should not have been, but sadly life deals us these blows. You have shared a great spirit with us all, and as her spirit now lives on within you, may it comfort this painful moment that you are experiencing, one we all recognize in kind, in the fullness of a poem that honours your little sis.

I don't even know little sis but you hit me emotionally with this one. I wish you and the family many years of joyful memories of little sis in her absence. I am almost wanting to hop on a plane for the wake I feel so connected with you and your family Ken-san.
