Lynn

I don’t remember much about that night

We were suddenly whisked away

They said that something’s wrong

an accident they say

 

I don’t remember when

They told me that she died

I do remember this

It was the first I saw my dad cry

 

I barely remember my mom

She was crying, her heart broken

Everyone gathering around

Hardly a word spoken

 

My sister was so beautiful

Her hair dark brown, her eyes blue

She had this twinkle in her eyes

You knew her smile was true

 

She had this wonderful gift

Of making everyone smile

Good hearted in everyway

Not one bit of her would guile

 

She had a beautiful angelic face

And loved so very much

Even though she is gone from us

At times you can feel her touch

 

In the air or a lone bird song

You feel her presence still

Because she had touched so many

Her love our heart she fills

 

From the beginning of her life

Until its sudden end

Even now in her resting place

She is our loving Lynn
