I look into your crystal eyes, As tears pour down from mine, Tiny arms they hug me tight, As if to say, we will be fine. I want to make a life for us, But my soul seems so weak, You little laughter fills my world, Giving me the strength to speak. Down inside the heart of me, I fear for you somehow, Your fragile life is mine to mold, And I feel intimidated now. Like my breath will just escape, And take you from my life, To raise you with the strongest hand, Brings to me such strife. I watch you as your sleeping, And pray to god through tears, That he will help me just this once, And watch over you through the years. That he will take this trembling hand, And this pain in my soul, And heal and mend these open wounds, To let me feel what I must know. And as your deep in slumber, Please know it will be okay, That I love you so much more than me, And can give you everything.......someday. |

Even without my insight into your life, this poem speaks volumes. I won't waste time with heavy-handed reassurances because I know your battle is uphill, but you do have a loving sister to support you as you grow through this. Knowing her as I do, I'm sure she would say the same thing, and I can almost hear her words echoing, "I love you, sis." For every obstacle you overcome, you will gain your insight into the next. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece of your heart. |

I wasn't really trying to make my reassurance sound heavy handed. I was trying to be encouraging or so I thought?? |

ethome: no offense was intended...sorry if you misunderstood...I have a tendancy to provide blind encouragement from time to time. |

Oh that's OK I thought maybe I'd missed something or said something wrong. I'm sorry I misunderstood too....forgive me! |
