I have been thinking about my little sister, when I wrote this poem. Just thought I would share it with you. In My Daily Thoughts ~ By Sue ~ I would be the first to admit it If the things you said were true As I recall, you got all the praise In whatever you would do I never felt like I belonged Not even in our family You were the smart one, I was dumb No matter what I did, you were better than me When you moved so far away I held my fears deep down inside All those emotions I was feeling I never could confide I couldn’t help but be afraid When he took you so far from home You were five hundred miles away And, you were all alone There were so many sleepless nights From wondering what you were going through You were always in my daily thoughts Wishing there was something I could do There was no way I could protect you With you living so far away I made myself sick with so much worry And wished that you had stayed 2-20-05 |

Sue, you are expressing your beautiful self with such genuine, and moving writing. I understand such feelings but we do what we are able to do to help those that we love. The rest is up to them ~ and God. Loving hugs for a loving soul, Linda |
