My Sister

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I went to visit my sister Shelia  today,
                                There has been no change in any witch way
                                I tried to cheer her up, but i dont think it worked,
                               She had tears in her eyes , and i though i was making her feel worst.

                                When she started to ask me if i would take her home,
                                A tear filled my eyes, and she looked so alone.
                                She may never leave this nursing home alive,
                                Not many recover or even survive.

                                She has a strong sprit, of that i can see,
                                Where most would have given up, she strives to be.
                                I still pray to the Lord that she will get better,
                                For only He and His goodness can fix whats the matter.

                                Ive been through some hard times in my life,
                                But never have seen anyone put up such a fight.
                                Its as if she knows one day the good Lord will say,
                                You have suffered enough,now you can go on your way.
                 
                               I would ask you please to keep Shelia in your prayers, 
                               Without them i know ,she wouldent be here.
                               One day i hope and pray she will walk out those doors,
                               It would be a mericle to see, and hear her cry no more.
