Poem Commentary

this is a poem about a girl i knew once as 'sister', but mitigating circumstances took us on separate paths in life. now that that path has wound back on itself , i only hope she will let me be the 'big brother' she always called me.

Jules

I once knew a girl that I loved very much,
and I knew she loved me, too.
She was the little sister that I never had
and she made me feel it was true.

But I did some things that I can't forget,
and I hurt her really bad.
To this day I can't forgive myself
for becoming so damn mad.

Knowing I caused her so much pain,
whether it was inward or outside,
made me feel like the monster I was,
and I wished that I had died.

I didn't see her for many years,
and when I did I felt ashamed.
I never knew how hurt she was
or how much of me she blamed.

I've had the chance to see her now,
and she is quite a woman now.
I hate I missed all the years to see
her mature into who she is now.

She is still the funny girl she always was,
but she is also serious when needs be.
I only hope that now I can let her know
just what she meant, and means, to me.

thank you. we have found the way to be the brother and sister we used to be, thank God...

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
