Poems ✍️

Little sister, always big
teased me, when I got my tits
kidded me, when I cried
took care of me, when I was sick
loved me, when no one else did
worried for me, when I did not
made me look good, when I had no taste
did what you could, just because

now it is you, who is reaching out
assuring me, that you'll be alright
when I know, you are terrified

this front you pose, I see right thru
and makes me love you even more-
yet the words that flowed so effortlessly
won't come to me now, when I need them

I am dieing inside, knowing
what you will boldly be enduring
as doctors probing tests confirm
their prognosis; cervical cancer

Claudia, my strength is with you
and my prayers sing out
to hold you up and surround you
with all the love that is inside me
reaching further than the universe

I love you
