I Meet My Sister

2009 3rd-4th Grade Poetry Winner

She is here
She is here!
My sister

The people have
Had her come here.
My sister

They have found out
She is my sister.
They have let us be
Together
My sister

As we are sleeping,
We hold hands
Across another man's chest
My sister

As we are sleeping,
We hold hands
Across another man's chest
My sister

I will never see
Her again.
I loved her.
I would have won
Freedom for her
My sister
