Tomorrow'sToday

She visited last night
not sure why
though Mother is in town
for her yearly "Hi".

The mirror reminds me
our looks seem to blend,
this sister now gone
while I'm still on the mend.

For to lose a sister
has been hard ego-wise.
She would build up my courage
and truth-fill the lies.

She came to me smiling,
though remembering each word
seems to escape me...
mind searching the "heard".

Must have been for some reason:
I've begun to reclaim
that of the "missing"
what I own of my name.

New course to be taking,
a pathway to "Be".
Maybe she smiled
being happy for me...

Though a simple rhymed posting,
it's meaning is clear:
Tomorrow'sToday
and my future is near.

Taking a bit longer
than one would have believed,
she smiled at me dreaming,
a look quite relieved.
~~~~
A sister's there with you
in heart and in mind
and will be there beside you
when Today becomes... your find.

M (missing you always)

your words reminded me of several things, much as the loss of my older brother, 8 years ago, and the passing of my Mother in this March just gone.

Your poem prompted me to post and share this poem /pip/Forum95/HTML/000785.html . Because in a way, my poem is a form of response to your words above.

a poet who cares
