For Leerie and Illy

Oh my dear Leerie and Illy
My sisters you are not so silly.
Yes I have endured such pain
A lot that my tears fall like rain.

Yes this pain is way too deep.
In my soul it has surely seep.
Yes on my face you see a smile
But inside I still feel quite vile.

The twinkle has left my eye
Has seen better days gone by.
I do believe I am on the path to mending.
Make no mistake, the pain is never ending.

Yes some days I surely do want to die,
But I am still here and I wonder why?
However life has taken me in a new direction.
I have spent way to much time in this reflection.

So I will hold this head up high
I will look up into the sky
I will forever of my kids be proud.
My love for them will never be not allowed.

Thank you my sisters two
I do know I can count on you.
Just do know I do not want to burden
Especially when I know you are also hurtin'

Lord only knows why I am still here
I sure thought I would disappear
But one day I will surely see
Why all this was and is allowed to be.

I do know I have you two
I can call when I feel so blue.
Thank you for what you had to say
There is nothing that can ever repay.

I will do better on my part
To show  that you are in my heart
Forgive me my moments when I am sad
For sometimes they need to be had.

I have great sisters I do!
I do so love you  two.
Thank you Illy and Leerie
Who is not so Dreary!

Hey I am "Dreary Leerie", Jordon says so! Well I know you have a hard time honey, I mean God, who wouldn't? Only a heartless @$$hole would not freak out, & though I think I know what you are going through, TRULY I don't. I only IMAGINE how hard it is for you that's why I have A LOT of respect for you. BUNCHES. Love you......Leerie
