Goodbye My Sister
By Michele Meleen
Goodbye to my perfect family
sharing rooms and clothes,
and all my secrets you'll keep.
Goodbye to my best friend
the best sister in the world,
I don't want us to end.
Goodbye my sister
I can't stand to see you go,
but I'll always remember what we were.
Missing My Sister in Heaven
By Michele Meleen
My sister is sitting in Heaven
and I'm missing her more than you know.
She's laughing and crying,
watching and waiting,
Until it's my time to go.
We'll meet in the clouds
and hug for a while
But until then,
I'm missing my sister in Heaven.

My sister
Sat beside me
In every phase of life.
She held my hand,
Took away my fears,
Electrified my heart.
Remember her.
RIP Sister

Rest in peace sister,
take comfort in what is next.
I will be there too.

cover me,
warm my frozen heart.
Shut out the world
and comfort me
as I grieve my sister's loss.
The Anniversary of My Sister's Death
By Michele Meleen

The gaping wound still vast
on the anniversary of her death.
