Useless

It's strange the way a life begins,
my nephew born of love.
Then time grows old as pages turn
needing prayers, this sister of.

Dependent, yes she's now become,
but son must go elsewhere.
Perhaps to save a war torn lad,
while she lays dying here.

His orders came to be prepared
called up, he may soon fly.
Along with him, her hope to live.
A tear, rolls down, I cry.

For I am useless to her needs,
my ills prevent the share.
A sister waiting, nephew too,
for "choice" results to bear.

thanks SY..I have a sister in need of a liver transplant and her only hope, her son, has been called up on reserve notice to be ready to leave at moments notice....
I asked if I could help and because I have
an auto immune illness, she said I wouldn't be accepted.

shoot normally I would try to fix my name/cross over..but I am in no mood to *s

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Maureen, this is so so sad, my heart goes out to you and your family and I pray with all my heart that your sister and your son will heal in time from the pain. (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, our hearts are all with you! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Maureen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Floria, Rex, ~V and Noah..thank you for your kind words...I was  going to call this Life or Death...strange funny, how to save others lives, my sister may have to die...but she does seem resigned to the fact..it is I that won't ever be.

Oh and Noah..it is my sister and her son, not mine...thank you for your comforting words.

I will light a candle for you and say a prayer.  Sometimes that's
all we can do but please know that none of us are ever useless
