Kathleen Kroll Poet Free verse

Big Sister, Little Brother

Big Sister, 
Little Brother

Big sister
Little brother
At play
First day
Of school
She takes
His hand
Shows him
The way
From home

Big sister
Little brother
Grows up
Passes away
He takes
Her hand
Shows her
The way
To home


Dedicated to
James C Kroll

Daniel Turner March 7, 2016 at 8:11 AM Lovely but sad. Just continue to write what's in your heart. Don't worry about whether people like it or not, if you're happy with it then it's good! I too lost a son so I can identify with this one. Peace my dear:)
