Once- only one time, less than 1 year given.
Never from my mind will you part.
Every brief moment we shared was truly a blessing. I still feel your presence so near, little dear.
Tiny hands to hold and play with for as long as time would allow. There I stayed in such a peaceful & great state. My entire being so full of overflowing joy to always see you face-to-face.
The sands of time in the hourglass can’t be reversed. Or I would have tried to go back in time. To be with you for even a much greater while longer.
I thought I’d see you again. But the medical team did their best to save you. Sadly, you came back with a silent heart.
Dearest young sibling, though your time spent here on earth was cut too short- I will always hold you dearly in my own heart. Now and forever more. Even till my last day here on this planet earth.
You may be gone, but I can feel your spiritual being always by my side. I don’t think the time that has passed can ever heal my grief. Now I am only comforted by the thought that I will see you in the afterlife.
You are no longer physically here. That doesn’t mean you’ve been forgotten.
Love you for all time my little young darling sis.

The Fates have
favored me
to be born
in the month
of Love
my folks would say
since my birth I
laughed like an adult
(with understanding)
It's life I've loved
love I've lived
and You I'm
laughing with
before the cradle
and the grave
seeking our humane
a smile outstretched

The Unlucky Hand
It was in September of 2016 that I thought I've done it!
I was proud to be an American Airmen, but alas it wasn't for me
With an unlucky upbrining I lost what I worked so hard for how could that be?
When I was diagnosed with PTSD I lost my career in the blink of an eye
It wasn't pitty that I wanted
It was just understanding that I needed
I just needed a hand instead I got the boot
