No One Could Replace You: Weekend Writing Prompt #127

Tuesday, you would have turned 70,

Celebrating a life filled to the brim.

You left us when you were 23,

God called you home with Him.

Forty-seven years later, and

I still miss you so much.

You were my older sister,

But, you had a mother’s touch.

I remember you bathed me at night,

And wrapped me in your love.

You gave me your last food ,

When I hadn’t gotten enough.

I adopted your four children,

Remembering what you would do.

They are wonderful adults,

But, no one could replace you.
