Pray

Sister, I cannot take The pain that I see you face. The lies that you try to erase. The excuses that you use To replace his mistakes. Dear Sister, I miss the smile you always wore And now, I rarely see that light anymore. My Dear Sister, You may think staying Will make everything okay. But this vicious cycle Is slowly taking it's toll And chipping you away. My Dearest Sister, I worry Not just for you But for your beautiful child. Her anxiety grows with each fury. My Lovely Dearest Sister, You try to be optimistic, But I would honestly call it masochistic. So now I am left To let God spread His grace Upon you who needs His strength. I will not give up. You may not get off this ride Today Tomorrow Or even in a year, But I have faith So all I can do for you now is Pray
