Closer today than yesterday

As I lay on my bed

I glanced up at our photo atop my drawer

I suddenly remembered the last time we were together

I remember vividly for I've always regretted

leaving you there, thought I should've known better

As much as it pains me then

I know what I needed to do

& deep in my heart I know you know it too

But now, all the consolation that I have

is knowing now that you are free

free from all the pain in this world

healthy, happy & full of glee

I miss you everyday

I know you hear me say

But I've learned to be happy

for today, I am closer to being with you

now than yesterday

oOOo

This is in memory of my sister who passed away last year due to lung CA.
