Baby Sis

A Poem by Frieda P
"

A tribute to Lee. x

"
Something inside me died
      when you took your life
you took part of me
           with you too
something so precious
              it bleeds my heart
part of you baby sister 
still lives on
reminders and memories
 though photographs and music
butterflies  a blue hue
              will always bring you home
you float by me on occasion
              and lift my heart
your brilliance still shines
 in their absence
yet every day I yearn for a hug,
 a touch
a sisterly glance 
            that only we knew
you were an extension of me
my younger self
           personified
you were the best of me
of all of us
A painted picture
               in my head
  I pen you a tribute
to honor you with poetry 
Now tears of memories
                 remain and overflow
your vibrant spirit
                keeps me in check
until I can truly touch
                 your heart again
Always remember.....

'I love you to the moon and back'

The emotion is so palpable in this piece, I wept. You give a beautiful tribute to your sister hear, and you remember her in such beautiful and vivid terms. There is such sadness and loss here, such a deep well. Through that space, you have preserved a part of her, and you show us how wonderful she was.

You have a lot of strength to write and share this piece. It is inspiring. You have made a lot of things clear to me in your writing that I can apply to my own life as well. I think I finally understand a lesson that I did not grasp before.

Wow Frieda :'( This was beautiful and for you to be the amazing person you are and write such sweet, wonderful words about your sister I can imagine what a gem of a person she must have been. I'm really happy you've found your voice through poetry to be able to let us all know how precious life is and how amazing people should be remembered through fine words. Nothing can ever replace the pain of loss, but know this that she love's you too, loves you to the moon and back.

You are always very intuitive and I love your heartfelt reviews, thanks my friend.
Sweet Frieda!

The painting of your dear sister is absolutely stunning! The butterfly and the color blue just seems to fly off the image.

I am simply at a loss for how to express to you how much your words of her loss touch me!! May you be wrapped in a never unraveling blanket of love and comfort - one of cashmere softness, one that shall catch your tears, one that shall help heal you!!

My son, Jerry still struggles with the memory of his brother Chris, and admits it is difficult for him to be with me - see me, or talk with me by telephone as I am so much a reminder of his brother. This pains me, but I try to understand that it is only because they were so close! He feels guilty because he lived.

Sisters are close, and you speak of how she was an extension of you - that is a very close bond!! I am so very sorry you have lost her in such a tragic way!! How do we possibly make any sense of it, except that she could no longer endure the pain of life!

I send an abundance of warm hugs for you!!!!

I'm not even sure what to say as it's all been said by the others...I'm sure she would have loved this and been touched by it, as we all are. Such a beautiful and poignant piece.
