Exceptional For my kid sister Half A Heart by Heather Knight Acrostic Poetry Contest contest entry

Girl, remember when it was just the two of us? Our toys and games? Every day was a new adventure full of imaginary friends, complicit fun. Mum never knew what we were up to behind her back. Thank God for that. Mostly, we shared a secret code, an unsigned pact. Never tell on me or else… And then, one day, you hid behind the clouds. And here I am, standing on dry ground. Waiting. Recognized Author Notes As some of you know, my kid sister, Gemma, passed aways almost six years ago at the age of 48. I've probably used this picture before, but it's one of my favourites. My lines are too long and won't fit, but the colours will help you see when one finishes and the next starts. The song below always made Mum think of my sis because she was tiny. My niece also is, but she doesn't care while my sister did (she stayed at home for a whole year because of bullying, but that didn't stop her from becoming a Professor with two PhDs). Thanks for reading.
