I stood there at the edge of the parapet
My life of 23 years, staring unfulfilled dreams
Loved the zephyr, trees & birds with twigs
Parted loved ones a promise to meet again!

A beautiful soul here lies
Dreams full of bright blue skies
A doting sister, giving daughter she was
She nowhere, her void, her absence now gnaws

It has been years that I lost my sister when she decided to leave us much earlier than her age but I miss her every passing day. Sunday, the 18th was when she chose another abode, hope she keeps her promise and meets us again to never give up on life this time. A Epitaph Poetry in her name.
An epitaph is a brief poem inscribed on a tombstone praising a deceased person, usually with rhyming lines.
‘I am taking my Alexa rank to the next level with Blogchatter
