   "Red Cardinal's Memories"

 

Today I saw a bright red cardinal and

Old memories came rushing in.

My mind soon filled with pain...

You were on my mind again.

 

Thoughts of laughter and of tears,

Of loving you for years and years;

Remembering all of the places we did go,

Was it that very long ago?

 

I wanted to pick up the phone and say,

How much I am missing you ...today.

But..you wouldn't be there to speak to me,

When will my heart and mind accept and see?

 

You left me and went so far away,

I tried so hard to make you ...stay.

I prayed and pleaded to God above,

 "Please let me Keep the one I love."

 

It is six years ...since you left and died,

Millions of tears for you...I have cried.

Wondering if you knew how much I cared,

Now knowing that life's not always fair.

 

Now I shout to Heaven."I miss you so!"

Just so you too will hear and know.

My love for you...will live through time,

 "I will see you soon dear... sweet sister of mine."

 

 Loving and missing you so much today sis!

 

God bless your family..Valentine        xxxxxxxx

A lovely memorial for a much loved sister. Probably the greatest epitaph anyone could have would be for those left behind to say - you were much loved!

I promise you she knew. I'm so sorry. This was such a touching piece. Rain..
