Neece and Humbug

It was Valentine when I lost someone dear. This poem is that reminiscence. _____________________________________________________________________| You and I were close. Of course, we were. You my big sister and I am Humbug. Your nickname is Neece - Rosie in school. I remember how you looked when I was only nine. You were a beautiful girl full of life. Us both liked the wrestling and watch this a lot. I became disinterest in the sport. You watched because you said you really enjoyed seeing a man as a punching bag instead of a woman. We would go out uptown and party. We laughed together in our mutual environment. We dance when we wanted to dance. I truly miss you Neece. We are six years apart. Made a difference when I was a girl but now it does not because both of us are adults. You left me on Valentine in 2009. Five years later, I write these lines. I am bereaved; however, I now rejoice in your life. My beloved sister Neece, Rosie such a beautiful name, I see you are in tranquility through an hourglass.

Jim, tranquility is immortal... We live in a world full of trouble... However, peace is based on how you covenant with your sister and brother. Love, Peace, and Harmony... Dark Sunshine (Verlena)

Where is Niecy now? As usual, your poetry was so full of thought and emotion and feeling and meaning. Looked, liked, punching and laughed are words you should check over carefully. I truly thank God for allowing us to meet on the Internet. Isn't He great. Yaaaa God. Jim Horn
