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.
