Sister Please Forgive Me

We were both so young full of spirit and fun She's the Indian I'm the Cowgirl as we move along the ground just fooling around Running through the house attacking each other with laughter and joy trying to be coy We see the rifle with no knowledge of great threat Just giving us a peak with nothing to regret My sister grabs it first and play shoots me but I'm quick and hold a might sway I'm a strong cowgirl aiming to attack I snatch the rifle from the Indian as she starts to retract I AIM-- I SHOOT-- BANG! My breathing has stopped but I'm not aware My ears are ringing Do I run and hide do I start screaming? For death I do not know and everything is now so slow Is she just sleeping or can I hear her weeping? Mama where are you? You were just ten steps below but you do not show My sister must be sleeping a blanket will help her weeping Gently I cover her but she doesn't seem to know Her long brown hair now has an odd red glow I'm only a child but my mind is going wild My tears of fear blind me as I fall to the ground Many days have passed me as I have grow old but I can still remember her grave with the Angel stone.
