Memory Lingers Still...

It has been 26 years without you, my sister

Your memory will in my heart forever linger

Your death 26 years ago left me with blister

My emotions came pouring down with no filter

I dream every night hoping in my ears you can whisper

You were cut off so young and not given the privilege of having a mister

Death, where is thy sting? Why did you pull the trigger?

This is a strong blow below the belt for me, what a kicker

If wishes were horses, right here with me, you, I will prefer

Time heals all wounds but my memory of you hasn't gone dimmer
