My Tribute to Emma

I remember as if it were yesterday

you were the one stuck with babysitting me

we played barbies, jacks and hide and seek

you even made me

peanut butter cookies

you called me Golla Polla

I called you Emma Pemma

 

You were my partner in crime

in my becoming the kindergarten drop out

it makes me smile to remember

how we fooled mom that i was sick

so I could stay home with you 

listen to Bobby Vinton

on the radio

 

It's funny what you remember

when you are 5

when the Big Bully came along

I dropped a glass and cut my foot ...

sorry i got you in trouble

it's just I thought

it would make you stay

but you got married and moved away anyway

 

And so it goes

the old cliche

It's the cycle of life

Time goes by

We must grow up

 

Now all we have is memories

and regrets

So much Life

and so much death

 

My dear sister

Creative, artistic, painter

You never could say no to candy

Or anything that is sweet

Silly, giggling

always full of antics and tricks ;)

 

It makes me so so sad

to see that spark is gone

I hoped that you could stay

but i can see

you must go on your path anyway

take the count from eight to three

 

May you rest in peace

welcomed with comfort and love

by the ones who have gone before

and if i may ask

watch over us please

Until we see each other again

in Heaven some day
