Been There All Along
you've been there all along
to teach me right from wrong
you taught me how to love again
i write this for my sister to show i love you
leading me through the roughest times
in which you took my hand
to lift me out of my deepest rut
happiness hidden beneath these rhymes
to say i love you is an understatement
for i feel so much more
i dream that we'd be blood related
till then i will wait on the chair remaining on the porch
creaking underneath my feet
listening to the wind
past times scream endless cries
for tears still running from my eyes
distance is our separation
let your beauty shine through out a darkened nation
for you've been there all along
and made my broke heart mend strong.
