Wes I am sorry to hear about your loss.

My dear sister,
How I miss you and though a year has past, now no less than before.
This poem you wrote so many years ago now are for you.
You, I always will remember
Long after April showers
Turn to snowflakes in December
‘Til twilight turns to dawn
Forever and beyond
‘Til the Earth becomes an ember
It’s You, I will remember
E. Letham
