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

rich-pa: this is a lovely poem  i hope your sister appreciated it for all that it says... (i, personally, like the He-Man lines best)... keep up the good work sincerely, jerome the melancholy priest Disarm you with a smile And leave you like they left me here To wither in denial The bitterness of one who's left alone --[billy corgan]-- |

He-Man was awesome! *From the power of grayskull!* ohhh... yeah! Sorry that was my 80's flashback! "WRITING IS EASY. ALL YOU DO IS STARE AT A BLANK SHEET OF PAPER UNTIL DROPS OF BLOOD FORM ON YOUR FOREHEAD." Gene Fowler |

I really like this poem! Your sister is very lucky to have you. Keep up the good work! "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world" |
