Lying on my bed
Trying to think
Or fall asleep,
which ever came first
Then my little sister walked in
Without knocking
My first instinct was to yell
"Did I say to come in or can't you knock"
But the look on her face
Cleared all annoyance
And replaced it with worry
She came straight and laid very close to me
With tears streaming down her cheeks
I asked what the problem was
She hugged me tighter and muttered
how she misses Tuzy, our late puppy
How she misses Rita, our long time nanny whose service are no longer needed
How she misses mom and dad together and all family vacations.
How she is going to miss me when I go back to school
My heart was filled with sadness
I did nothing but to comfort my baby sister
All I wanted was to take all the pain away but this is life
We must all cope.
