Things eventually wear out, given time,
No matter how often they’re used.
They may cost a small fortune or nary a dime…
Be sheltered or often abused.
A kerchief lasts longer than tissues…
But may need more specialized care.
You may find some things have more issues
But are worth the more labored affair.
Yet, when the languished in question
Is something we can’t live without -
We must know the future is destined
To be littered with trouble and doubt.
It seems we have expectations
Of those who assemble our lives.
We share laughter and tears without hesitations
Our joy – and our love – truly thrives.
We grow from every encounter
Whether positive, tough or routine.
We’re not burdened with thoughts of the future –
Life is quite perfect…it seems.
Then, Life throws in the damn changes.
It appears that things simply wore out.
Memories offered stark rearranges,
And stories held errors throughout.
People long gone were often believed
To be still here or recently gone.
This confusion simply could not be conceived
By those who knew her for so long.
Through all of this, I TRULY THINK
That she used up her wits as a nurse.
Her mind and her heart - pushed over the brink...
Her strength and compassion – her curse!
I don’t know what lays in her future…
Or how long that she’ll know my face.
But I’ll always know I love my sister –
And NOTHING will take My Girl’s place!
She’s been here – right by my side…
In person – in spirit – in heart –
I pray that we’ll always be each other’s guide.
Distance can’t tear us apart!
Julie, I ache to the depths of my soul
Knowing all of this causes you pain!
Please believe when I say that my only goal
Is to see your sweet smile again!
Although I’m not with you today,
(We sadly live so far apart –)
Remember what we always say:
We live inside each other’s heart!!!
I LOVE YOU MY SWEET GIRL!!
