Too Soon

A poem for my sister who passed away...

         You were stolen from us too soon
         Never given a chance to say goodbye
         Two young children now left to mourn
         Without the slightest of reasons why

         Their loving mother will no longer
         Wipe their tender tears away
         Or laugh at their childish antics
         As they wrestle, laugh, and play

         That night your children found you
         Standing there, they trembled in fright
         When your daughter saw your face so blue
         She ran for the phone with all of her might

         Alone she called her father and 911 too
         Hot tears fell as she held her little brother
         When the ambulance sped away with you
         She whispered one last time; goodbye mother

         The precious memories that we made
         Live in our hearts so strong and true
         Until the day, in my grave I am laid
         Once again, I will be reunited with you

         A daughter and son are your legacy
         Through them you will forever live on
         You went when the Lord summoned thee
         Beyond the pearly gates you have gone
