They kept the coffin closed for the funeral.
They placed a picture of me and you
in front of the casket.
I'm the one on the right, the Big Sister.
You're the little one, the one everyone likes more.
Mommy and Daddy wouldn't say so,
but they ran quicker when you were crying.
I remember when we went swimming.
You were scared of the plants
that lived in the water.
I swam over to them
and threw some at you.
You started to cry
and Mommy yelled at me.
I don't like it when Mommy yells at me.
She told me to watch you while she went to the car
to get you a clean diaper.
You wanted to go swimming,
I didn't think Mommy would care.
I didn't know you couldn't swim.
