Until Now

Author: Unknown

we really never got along
when we were young you rejected me
we really never acted like sisters
for what happened when you neglected me
I never forgave you
until now
~ ~ ~
I realize you were young yourself
you wanted to play with your friends
it was not your fault, I didn't know
I need to make amends
forty years wasted
until now
~ ~ ~
please know I've forgiven you
you are very ill, your heart stood still
just for a moment
you are in a coma again
I didn't know I love you
until now
~ ~ ~
I will pray for you
and for another chance to be a sister
close like sisters should be
I hope we will be able to
I didn't know I would miss you
until now

luvuluvme,
I will be praying for your sister and you. I'm so sorry, wish there was something else I could do. Your poem is very endearing. Take care and God Bless You.

Thank you, Pinkpoetress. Your prayers are very appreciated. There is nothing we can do but wait. I wish I could be there, I am relaying on msg. and phone calls from my family, as I am here in Canada and the rest of my family is in Germany. So, thank you again for your heartfelt words and prayers.

I understand your feelings,at times circumstances & distance causes
A rift between kin,but the love deep down within cannot be erased,when a time of crisis surfaces the blood cries out to reach out to be one again.I faced the same situation but the last four years were the most beautiful years I had with my sister,she was in England but my love reached out to her everyday through phone through mail,cards & the relationship we shared was
the sweetest we ever had.I will pray that God unites the two of you in the bonds of love.

Bentlee, thank you for your understanding words. it doesn't matter anymore what happen a long time ago, we have to forgive the ones we love. I too pray for a reunion, and hopefully god will grand it.
Thank you.
