This is dedicated to the second in our line.. with love, from the last in line. <br /> <br />She smiled and joked <br />Quick to comment, ready to poke, <br />Crazy things she’s done <br />So funny – second to none <br />Then she’d close the door at night <br />Tucked away, out of sight <br />Cried so hard, wanted to die <br />Thoughts not as scary as giving a try <br />Years gone by and she has grown <br />Knows love, loss, and what it’s like on her own <br /> <br />I’ve cried for her years so bitter <br />Gave her hugs, told her I love her <br />‘Cause she’s my big sister <br />I pray she still knows I’m always near <br />I may not be close by, but still for her there’s always an ear <br />Know I love you, sis, and I understand your pain <br />But know also I will be around for when you can (truly) smile again.<br /><br />Aurora Wells<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-real-tears-of-a-clown/
