remembering back on times
like out in the yard,
exchanging violent blows
of sibling love
always errupting
in miniscule quarrels
that seemed like a war

or the he-man and she-ra soap operas
played by you and me
that i masked with the facade
of he-man going to war
with the everpresent skeletor

but the older we got
the more we grew apart
you had your world
and your friends
and i had mine
the two rarely crossing
and when they did
very little

but now we're a little older
and a little wiser
you and i
and i get midnight phone calls
from a troubled soul
with too much to handle
looking for someone to talk to
so i gladly listen
taking time from my simple life

You tell me that you feel alone
and i try and show you
that i'm there for you.
You tell me that you're depressed
so i try and cheer you up
You tell me how you feel-
that our dad doesn't love you
and i tell you that i sympathize
knowing the feeling too
And you tell me how hard it is
to go to school all day
and then work all night
and still pass
and all i can think
is how proud i am of you,
trying to do good,
so i tell you to stick in there
And you tell me your pain
how you think no one loves you
so now i tell you
this one thing sis...
that i love you.

So very touching! A listening ear, a sympathetic heart, and a great encouragement to any sister. Thanks for sharing.
