Sister Dear

I dedicate this poem to my sister who has just found out that she has cancer. This is for you sis.

Oh look
thats sad
She looks so sick
Oh she looks so bad

Thats what you say
But what do you care
thats not you
Do you think thats fair?

You sit there
And share your pity
For the girl
In that other city.

You think you don't know her
But hey thats your child
Its her number
Fate has dialed

You get 'The Call'
you almost faint
It can't be
Its a mistake.

You stand there by her bed
Theres nothing you could do
and burst out crying when she says
I love you.
