Sister, Sister Love

I can still recall her sweet laughter as we played, with our dolls on the covered porch in the shade, I keep it in my soul. And how we walked with Dad holding hands to the park, and sat and talked listening to a meadowlark, our sister love death stole. My small girl mind wept that God took you to heaven, and I have for years, years- for you were just seven, and I cannot be whole. ___________________________ July 31, 2020 Poetry/Tail-Rhyme/Sister, Sister Love Copyright Protected, ID 20-1272-752-0 All Rights Reserved, 2020, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, Tail Rhyme Stanza sponsor, Emile Pinet First Place

You write tenderly of a love and tragedy that one can never fully get over. This touches me deeply as each of my parents lost a young brother, one was 5, one was 9. Warm hugs and congrats for a top podium win with your touching tail-rhyme ~ John

According to last night's news, children carry 100x Novel Coronavirus as adults, so many more tears will be shed. Good luck in the contest! Aloha! Rico
