Forever...
As I stare at trees
Listening to the early morning birds and breeze
The wind brushing my hair
Feeling the cold, wet concrete on my legs and hands
Smelling the wet grass after it rains
Waiting for good
Or for bad
But never in a-million-years
Did I think this would come
Watching my dad get out of the car
Listening to the whistling wind
That’s when he told me
My sister was gone
Not for a day,
Not for a week,
Not for a month,
Not for a year,
But forever...
Hoping my moms okay
He told me she was not so great
But surving for the family
Me starting to cry
My brother walkes out
Trying to be brave for him
I whipe my tears
Then he knew
The tears running down my face
About this poem
This is the story about when my dad told my family my sister had passed.
