A Sonnet For My Sister Moving Out

She went into a dark and lonely place

Where she and only she could bear to be

She handled it with such an air of grace

And moved her things to somewhere she was free

My sister flew away and left me here

To grow up on my own and face the world

Although it seems she left the hemisphere

I still admire how her life unfurled

But I still know that she still feels alone

And know that she could never ask for help

I wish that my Lifeline would just come home

And wish that I knew how she truly felt

But even though I want her to be mine

I'll wait and hope she will drop me a line
