Poetry helps us hold space for love, grief, and memory all at once. These short birthday poems are written to gently honour your sister’s presence — still felt, still loved.
A Birthday for You
No candles now, no birthday call,
Just silent tears that softly fall.

The sister you’ll forever be.
I send this wish across the skies —
With birthday love that never dies.

Your laugh, your light, your fearless grace,
Still echo in this quiet space.
