[hometext] => ehh definately not my best :(
[bodytext] => I was the youngest and she, the oldest About four years apart we were. And as weird as it sounds I always wanted to grow up, to be like her. She was my big sister, Loyal, caring, fun and smart. She was my role model, A teacher, a protector, in my life: my favorite part. We'd play outside, the two of us Tag or hide and seek She'd always come and tickle me If I ever tried to peak. Our favorite game though was Number One A game that was a race I was rarely ever the winner though For my sister always recieved first place. But all of that changed one day When she asked me if I wanted to play And as always I said yes And we played our favorite game but this time I had won! She told me then, that if i made a wish, It would come true, i went to tell her what it was but she hushed me and said, "it's just between God and you" The next day I ran up to her door To ask if she could play Then she slammed it in my face And yelled "go away!" I really didn't get it why would she act so strange? It's not like her, to play these kind of games. And with this thought of puzzlement, I went back to my room It is then that I heard the loud boom. I ran back to my sister And burst right through the door And to my amazment I saw Her, bleeding on the floor. Through her neck was a hole And in her hand lay a gun All my thoughts ordered me to run Yet I sat there wondering. Is this why you said you couldn't play? Is this why the foor slammed in my face? Is this why you told me to stay away? If I knew this were to happen I would've Let you win that race today... And I sat there all day, wondering Why my sister left me. And I sat there all day, wondering Is this the way its supposed to be? A couple minutes had passed by Though it felt like an eternity And my mom and dad walked in the room As father called the police "Hurry, Hurry!" I watched the ambulance take her away And I thought to myself, What a horrible game to play. The next morning mother talked to me And told me what I had already seen She said she was sorry and that Yes, it was the way it had to be. I asked her one more time if she was sure She sobbed "yes hunny" and walked out the door But I still sat there wondering, It didn't quite make sense. I thought about what sister told me: "you won first place, now make a wish!" "Hush dont tell me! It's just between God and you!" And I sat there and prayed, Please, make my wish come true! Later that night, mom recieved a call The nurses had told her My sisters alive, We found out that she really had died But after a few moments was later revived. And when i stepped by her side She looked in my eyes And whispered Thank You. And its then that I knew My wish had come true. I wished that my sister and I Would never fall apart I wished that I would stay, Forever in my sister's heart. ... A couple weeks had passed And my big sister was healed We went outside to play a game Our game of Number One And it was our fastest race And my sister won first place. The place she'd forever stay in my heart, For Brothers and Sisters will never be torn apart.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
