I was Here

A poem for my sister kate, who died quite young.

I was here.

There's only really one of me

I'm quite unique to all you see

I've never once been here before

this is It, my life no more

my journey here has touched a few

but most of all my love for you

a lifetime lasts in a single kiss

these are the things I'll truly miss

But please don't shed a single tear

Just remember I was here.

A poem By Will Neill.

For My Sister Kate.

Si que es verdad que el amor dura para siempre. A lovely poem, quite reminiscent of the Bronte sisters' poetry and very touching. Rhyming verse may not be fashionable, but for me it's the essence of poetry.

By writing this, you've honored your sister well, and made others aware of her brief existence. I seldom ever talk about it, but I had a brother that wasn't here long.

[Will Neill]

We are kindred spirits Sam, keep well.
