The Loss Of My Baby Sister

This is about my sister who died Feb. 12 2007. It is hard to cope with it. I feels like part of me has died and I can’t go on. This poem describes what happened that night…
The loss of my baby sister
My baby sister only eighteen,
Oh how I wish she could have only seen,
Only seen that van coming at her that night,
Maybe then she could have moved out of sight,
Off the road and in the yard,
So she could have still been here and life not be so hard,
Not so hard on me or any of us at all,
My baby sister should not have had to take the fall,
She had to pay with her life for the stupidity of the man driving that night,
Oh how I know she was so full of fright,
He was drunk with a can by his side,
But still he decided to go on that ride,
On the ride to go get more beer,
Then had the nerve to say he only hit a deer,
My baby sister lying in the ditch,
Not able to move flinch or twitch,
He kept going didn’t even stop,
But he kept drinking right to the last drop,
Now my baby sister being life flighted to the emergency room,
Our lives were already filled with gloom,
On the way to the hospital I seen the van the man drove for the ride,
The cops had it pulled over and moved us to the side,
I made it to the hospital to see my baby sister with her eyes so blue,
Eyes bigger than ever, tubes in her mouth, a look so scared I said god this cant be true,
Now my baby sister being life flighted once more,
This young innocent life that we so much adore,
At the second hospital she couldn’t fight any longer,
The damage to her body could not let her be an ounce more stronger,
When we arrived and was told the news,
We couldn’t believe we had to lose,
Lose one of the best things we ever had,
A sister, a daughter and aunt everyone was so sad,
To go in the room and see her on that bed,
Oh the things that ran through our head,
Body so cold lips so blue,
We then seen her life was now through,
We kissed her, held her, told her we loved her, begged her to come back,
Then we had to leave her our lives were so black,
So much pain, so much anger, so much hurt in our heart,
Why did he have to rip our family apart,
I love you my baby sister Becka Rose Kuhn,
I just hope you hear me when I tell you I will be with you soon,
When I tell you I miss you and love you day after day,
The things you didn’t hear much when you where here for me to say,
To tell you in person so I could hear you tell me too,
Oh how my life will ever be so blue,
I will keep you with me forever, I will carry your memory strong,
Until the day we meet again which won’t really be that long.
