My Sister Cheryl

How do I feel about my sister "Cheryl" I know I love her and she is one of us six girls, She is older than me by seven years Last time I saw her i was brought to tears, Cheryl is not well by no means Not even the doctors let her know it is like a bad dream, I try to comprehend how she must feel inside But, knowing my sister Cheryl she is not one to confide, The past five years she has beat the disease that grows more everyday In her mind she feels mentally okay, Now the pain is spreading to the point she has to take pain medicine to be comfortable I am scared that she won't ever be able, To come see us again where we have so much fun I hope God keeps her here so we can play in the sun, I am not ignoring the reality that is there We all will die sooner or later but, I am hoping that God can make it fair, Please let her live long enough to accept what she will face And may God put her up there with him in her own space.

A very difficult thing to watch a loved one suffer. I will pray for you Michelle, and also for your sister, Cheryl. God bless.
