Ode To Brandee

You help me see who I am You catch me when I fall You helped me get closer to God You don't care if I'm laughing or crying You've stuck with me through it all When my mama started drinking, you helped me through that When my papa said mean things to me you showed me he was wrong You lit the darkness so I wouldn't stumble You let me cry on your shoulder when I thought I was pregnant When I found out I wasn't You shared my joy You talked me out of doing so much You're the reason I'm still alive In one poem or even a hundred I couldn't describe all you've done Thank you for your caring compassion You really, truly are the best
