My Sister's Keeper

Image there is no tomorrow, imagine that I would not see your face. The reality is that you were already journeying from this place. Behind those deep, heavy eyes, we've now ran out of time and ran into our temporary goodbyes. But my sister, let us hold fast the memories of that radiant smile and strong soul, as we ready your wings as we prepare to let you go. So goodbye: goodbye to the tears, goodbye to the unknown, to the hospital beds, goodbye to the pain that has grown. This grief won't leave, but the days will get light, understanding that you did win your fight. Just know we love you deep, and the hurt is deeper, I'll journey through life forever my sister's keeper.
