MMMM Sweet Sister.

I read Cathy from Curious as a Cathy post for MMMM. She said it’s a free choice week and she chose to write about her younger brother who died before his time. Cathy’s post inspired me to write one for my Sister Mary who died also before her time. I hope you don’t mind Cathy.

My beautiful sister Mary and I about thirty years ago.

If only I’d made more time
To travel to your door
If only we’d lived closer
Or I’d known what I know now, before.
If only I had told you how much I really care
If only I could touch you, If only you were still here.

My  dear  and  beautiful second eldest  sister died  in October 2015 . She was a nursing  sister  all her  working  life and  she  touched  so many  lives. She died a horrible  and  painful  death due  to a  drug  resistant  bug. 

Last moments

The  machines  murmured and  slowly  stopped their pings
As her  soul, finally  at  peace, found it’s  wings.
After months  of  pain  and  strain
She  was  free  again.
I hope  you  are with  your  true love and  dancing  to  a sweet refrain.
God  Bless  you  sister  dear
I miss  you  so, yet still feel  you near.
Your going left a scar
I see you everyehere like a burning star.
