Lost My Sister

I lost my sister
In 2007

Due to strange illness
That came out of nowhere
And killed her on spot

It was not an heart attack
That killed her that day
Just a freak medical condition.

It came to us
As quite a shock

We had not spoken
In some time
We were not that close

My wife and I flew
To California
Where we held the funeral

Shattered her ashes
On the beach
In Guala, California

Felt her spirit
All around us
That day.
