His sisters favorite song

by Jordan   Jan 4, 2006


A brother stood up at graduation
A blank look on his face
You could tell he wanted to talk
His heart began to race

As he stood behind a podium
He glanced out to the crowed
"My little sister would have graduated today
and I wouldve been so proud

Sadly she can not be here
Because you see she died"
The brother looked down at his paper
And quietly he sighed

"My sister walked into a party
And gladly took a beer
She greeted her friends with many smiles
She had nothing at all to fear

After a long night of partying
She walked out to her car
No one tried to stop her
She didn't live too far

She put the keys in the ignition
And began her journey home
She took a left up on Walnut
When she faintly heard her phone

She looked around the car
As she rounded a dangerous curve
A deer caught in the headlights
She pushed the wheel to swerve"

He looked back to the graduates
But no one made a sound
As he glanced amongst the faces
A dry eye could not be found

"She was just a young 17
Getting in the car she didnt think
She was barley old enough to drive
Let alone to drink

I miss everything about her
She thought she was always right
She smiled every single day
And she never picked a fight

Sometimes I hear her laugh
Something I miss the most of all
I would give anything just to see her
Even if the timing was small

I think I hear her car pull in
Like it should have on that night
I wish someone wouldve taken the keys
At least put up a fight

This song is in loving memory
Of the sister I am proud of
The girl that you all knew so well
The one that everybody loved"

He began to play the song
Tears rolled down his cheek
He wanted people to listen
No words were left to speak

He slipped off the stage
Leaving "hero" playing strong
The title saying all the rest
Of his little sisters favorite song
