Love can not be grown by just a plant seed;

     My older half-sister was quite silly,

In life, love is what you will always need; 

     She will always be my special Lily.

I should not be feeling so blue deep down;

     But it is hard knowing that she is gone,

Even though she has left my happy town;

     I will always wake up every dawn.

She eill forever be in my big heart;    

     It is hard not being able to see,

It's hard knowing we are living apart;

     But Lily is exactly just like me.

Although I will not see my Lily soon,

     I know she will always be in the moon.

The author's comments:

I wrote this freshman year in my English class during our Shakspear section and I wrote it after my sister died. I wrote it about three to five days after my sister passed away.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;

&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson
