The Crack in My Heart

Ever Since I heard those words

You were Gone,

there has been a crack in my heart.

We were, too long

too far,

Apart.

Since we were children,

I held your hand,

you were my best friend.

Sharing secrets, clothes,

playing games,

through the fields we wend.

As teens we went different ways…

It often happens,

Yet still love stays.

Ma soeur, la jumelle, la famille,

(My sister, my twin, my family)

Precious is your memory,

Je vous remercie de nous avoir donné le don de vos filles!

* For my sister, Joni, who passed away in August, 2012 at the age of 41. She is greatly missed.
