Susie Salmon Was My Sister

Lindsey Salmon, is Susie Salmon's sister. At the news of Susie's death, the Salmon family was shattered. All of Susie's friends and family couldn't believe what had happened. It seemed as if all hope was lost. The poem below was written by me, in the position of Lindsey Salmon. If I were in Lindsey's place, I would have read this poem at Susie's funeral as a tribute to her.
Susie Salmon was my sister,
A best friend and a loved one.

Her smile could light up a room,
Her eyes forever glistened.

She had soft shiny hair,
And was always there for me.

One day her life was taken away and ruined the lives of those she loved,
Someone who can feel no other emotion but hate brutally hurt my sister and shattered my family.

That happy smile will never be seen again,
Those bright eyes will never glisten.

Her wavy hair will no longer blow in the breeze,
Now, who will be there for me?

She will be greatly missed and never forgotten,
For Susie Salmon, was my wonderful and loving sister.

aww
That was a good poem
It had a lot of emotion in it.
I dont think i could even imagine how it would be like if I lost one of my sisters.
I might want to check this book out.
Good job on the blog

that was a really good poem. it was very deep and emotional. i never knew you could write poetry like this. if i was in the position that my sister died, the lat thing i would want to do is write a poem and have to rethink all those memories.
