Didn't get to say Goodbye

Baby sister Poems

You were my whole world,
my adorable baby sister.
You were able, even at one,
to lift me up when I fell low.

But you had to battle
with your horrible cancer.
And, unfortunately,
you were unable to defeat it.

I had, somehow, known
that you were going to die soon.
But there was no way of knowing,
when you would lose your battle.

Mom was at the hospital with you,
on the day that you died.
But I was at school,
and didn't get to see you off.

I was told about your death,
later on that night.
But I wasn't able
to say goodbye.

You're my baby,
my baby sister Jessica.
You left the world too soon,
without saying goodbye to me.

I still, to this day,
regret that I was too young,
too young to understand
that you would not be back.

I didn't get to say goodbye,
and now it feels like it's too late,
that I'd rather have said goodbye
while I was by your side.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is a poem that I wrote about never getting to say goodbye to my baby sister, Jessica.
She was one years old when she died from a cancer that the doctors didn't know how to treat.
The medicines that they gave her, if they worked, only worked for a little while.
I miss my little sister, and with that I had been able to have more time in this world with her.
I love you Jessica, and wish that I could have said goodbye.
