Remembering Day

For my sister, Vicki.

Remembering Day

This day
used to be
your birthday.
I gave you presents.
Lit candles to mark
another year of life.
Filled up on cake.
This day is now
the anniversary 
of your birth.
I miss
your presence.
Light a candle
in honor of
your life.
Try to fill up
on memories,
but the hunger
never ends.
