Margi Spurgeon Poet Free verse

Sweet Angel - My Baby Sister

I didn't get to keep my sister
To hold her, to love her
I didn't get to see her eyes

I didn't get to watch her grow
To get mad at her
because she was into my stuff!

I didn't get to have a friend
That would always be there
To share secrets, to cry with

I didn't get to know what it's like
To walk with our arms linked
To share sorrow, to be one together

I didn't get to see my sister
They came home without her
They put her in my brother Danny's care

I didn't get to say hello or good-bye
But at least I know
My baby sister waits for me
