Looking Up

She always gets sad On her birthday like me But for a different reason, Anyone can see, She says that she killed 2,000 people or more On her birthday September 11th On that exact day when 9-11 was going on My aunt was being born and now her disappointment In herself is strong. She was born on that day, Now her husband has cancer, Her brother died an alcoholic 2weeks before Christmas two years ago, My grandma her mom is in pretty bad shape But she looks up at the sun And the happy days of fun And does the best she can to keep it up Now my grandma and uncle are doing much better Thanks to her looking up!
