Sweet sister dear <br />Remember those years <br />We cried together, <br />Dropped many tears <br /> <br />Saw the fights, <br />Were afraid of lights, <br />The bottles lined up <br />And the pills in our sights <br /> <br />Now we are older <br />More lives at stake <br />Not just our own anymore <br />Our kids’ care we take <br /> <br />All the tears we have now <br />The powerless feelings grown <br />All the damage our family did <br />In our adulthood now shown <br /> <br />Please sister dear <br />Don’t cry anymore <br />I will dry your tears <br />As you have done with me before <br /> <br />Remember I love you and I am here <br />Remember with us as a pair there is no more fear.<br /><br />Aurora Wells<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sweet-sister/
