Thelma:SIDS
It was evening when you went away,
I wondered where did you go.
While your twin sister was left cooing,
and playing with her toes.
Come along kids they told us,
don’t worry, nothing is wrong.
But I saw the tears on their cheeks,
as they hurried us along.
I heard them say you gave no warning,
no crying or gasping for a final breath.
I thought that you were just sleeping,
I did not understand the meaning of death.
A few days later they told me,
that off to heaven you flew.
I was mad that you never even said goodbye,
Or asked me to go with you.
I was so young when you left us,
but I still hold the memory of you within.
Even after they put you in the dark earth,
and no one ever talked about you again.
