I Saw My Father Die I saw my father die As his spirit left his body I thought he was still young He died too soon There was so much I wanted to tell him. 1 saw my mother die saw her spirit departing I had so much to say Somehow, I knew She would watch over me for many more years. I saw my sister die It was such a shock One moment, she was alive Then she died Or a rare, strange disease Died before she was 50! POETRY FORM: Mirror Sestat Click the link for the deets!
