Sister's Spirit
As we ran through the fields
Our childish conversations
Oblivious to the future
Rolling in freshly cut hay
Giggling at our imagination
Free from the world's burdens
Your stunning hazel hair
Blown in the farm air
Still untouched by foreign product
Eyes that reflected
Both our parents
Filled with hope
Days passed, we grew
Sisterhood and friendship
Unbroken by fate
Soon your smile faded
You hid in the shadows
Forlorned by others
Yet your grace remained
Your kind heart still pure
Shined through darkness
My goofy sister prevailed
Your beauty continued to grow
Untarnished by sickness
Years flew by
Laughs were rarer
As the mirror tore us apart
Somehow you were blind
To your natural allurement
Unaware of what you possessed
Sickness struck you
Life drained away
Yet your soul still genuine
Your elegance always a fantasy
Your glamor unchanged
From childish days to grown age
I will always love you
Miss our naive days
Cherish our time togehter, though rare
I hope that one day
You will know that
You've been beautiful
Since you graced the Earth
You may never know
Or understand how I feel
But your my angel in disguise
And my magnificent little sister.
