The Wish

She made a wish to go to Disneyland that we wanted to fulfill But she couldn’t go see Mickey Mouse until she was not so ill So she changed her wish a little bit and wished her brother could go instead Hoping she could give a gift to her best friend when she were dead Being twins for their ten years their bond was true and tight A second bed in her hospital room allowed him to stay each night He shaved his head when she lost her hair and stayed with her through therapy She said, “I’m glad that you will be okay and the cancer found only me” He rode each ride with an empty seat where she was meant to sit Knowing she was looking down on us during our visit He now makes his way as a single twin with his sister on his mind Making sure she is not forgotten by the people left behind Written and posted on 4/9/13 for the "The Empty Tissue Box Contest"
