Speaking of Sisters, May 2021

There are times in life

When loved ones

Are lost to us

So young

It feels they’re gone

So soon

And our time together

Had just begun

And although years may come to pass

There are those

anniversaries

Where yesterday is present

As though no gap or space

has ever been

But in speaking of our memories

In mentioning

their names

In that way

We do honour them

Despite the grief

and pain

And as we continue

to move forward

May we hold close

to what is dear

And to find comfort

In discoveries

of who they were

When they were here
