Helpless
by Don MatleyOh my little sister
Who is huge in my heart
So sad to see you so sick in bed
I write but with nowhere to start
You are so special and so loved by me
I don't say that aloud enough in my life
You are strong and determined as the roots of a tree
I would leap to replace you to end your strife
I write these words trying to make them rhyme
But quite frankly I have no patience and you so little time.
I only want you to heal and not hurt without further adieu
I hope my words bring some little comfort by saying "I love you".
