Dear Sis

Dear Sis:
You are the one I never knew
You may have been gone
Before I came along
But still, I miss you.

You were so sweet, so new
Not meant for this earth
Long enough to be loved, it's true
Then gone shortly after birth.

You are such a special soul
Pure in heart, spirit, and mind
This family has a hole
Where once your life shined.

I think of you often Mary
I send you my sisterly love
I try not to get to teary
I know you watch from above.

I know you love me
You know I love you
But just a small favor, please,
Give our Dad a kiss and a big hug too.
