Linda : '47 - '88
Our sister had a choice of seven brothers
(I was the one she'd always choose)
to help with oatmeal cookies
(I got to lick the spoon);
to go window shopping, which I hated,
(but loved the ice cream cones).
We’d spend hours on the telephone
(when she was home alone).
She never did have children
(she couldn’t have her own).
When the cancer finally took her
(I had no words to say).
I still look up to her for answers
(and it's in her name I pray).
