I Heard A Voice

 

I heard the voice of the most blessing deed

My dear little sister’s voice

It still races through my veins

Making my skin shiver

 

Those tears I shed silently that day

Were those of tears of joy

For I never thought I’d hear

That lovely little voice again

 

Smiling the whole time

As you talked

About how school is going for you

Or about your 3 new brothers

 

How lovely it was

To hear that sing-song voice of yours

Bringing the best side out of everyone around you

Bringing every one around you together at last

 

Where had the time gone

Seven already

Wow, my mind must have blown out the window

Since that time I saw you

 

No ever saw those silent tears

I shed just for you that day

Oh, how my heart still aches

Just to see your bright and cheery face

 

The face that I haven’t seen

For almost three years

How I wish for you to have been by my side

That night that I heard you voice

 

But alas

I shall only be blessed

To see the lovely young lady are

In my dreams

 

Hopefully

We shall soon

Meet again and maybe

This time you’ll stay by my side.

NICE NICE

Very interesting poem. It seems as if the narrator feels some sense of responsibility, perhaps more so in hindsight (e.g. what if I was there), for the loss of their sister. A moment that the mind gives whisper of that post voice sparks questions about what could be. This one made me ponder the story, what's behind it, and I really love that quality about this poem.

Obviously you love your little sister and this poem is for her. I can tell that she is the glue that keeps you together, even from a far. Really nicce. Keep up the great work. :)

[Greg Skura]

This is a great tribute to those who brought us joy and left us too soon as their journey was quite different from our own! Well Done!

[Poetic Beauty]

this is a sweet poem with a sad undertone. It is almost as if the sister is no longer alive or the narrator is no longer alive. the sentiment is sweet and caring with a hint of being sad.

Very touching and hopeful verse....with a dash of sadness. I've come to learn that some of the sweetest, breathtaking moments actually came from a moment of bitter. I feel that this verse started in your heart and then flowed from pen to paper. I would love do-overs and given that chance I would right those that have left or have been missed in my life. Wonderful, heartfelt write!
