To Dawn

To my little sister, Who is not really small It’s just that she is younger than I And she’s not very tall The other day she had a bang Unfortunately on her head There is a good side to this She could have ended up dead The trouble is the bang has rattled What brains she does possess At least the scans did find some But they are a vibrating mess They say she will improve But that cannot be Because my little sister Is already perfect for me She may struggle talking But I can feel for her With her new stutter and my daft voice We sound a right daft pair We think we’ll start a chat line But not sure what it’ll be We might begin an auction site We’ll have to wait and see GGGoing GGGoing gone She would be good at that But with my alternating voice I just sound like a real pratt Between my highs and lows And her struggle with her words There’s’ one think we both know We are not a pair of nerds So to my sister Dawn I send you all my love Get well soon sweetheart You are the hand that fits my glove. Mandy aka GG 19/12/2013 © To those that know us they know we are both struggling with speech but for two different reasons.

Cute one ...Got a chuckle but of course it is not funny to the person who has the problem unless they take it with humor..Sara

Dear Mandy - "The hand who fits my glove" is just a beautiful set of words. You have a lovely outlook on you and your sister's mutual impediments. God has blessed you with the talent of writing well and finding fun - at least you've given me a great big smile.. Right on and write on. love, Kathy
