I hear her cryin all through the night <br />The sound of her heart breakin <br />I hear her askin why for her I do not fight <br />And where I am when its me shes needin <br />Though she occasionally smiles wide <br />Her eyes no longer sparkle and shine <br />It is almost as though she died <br />But ask her and she says, 'Im fine' <br />For her I send up a silent prayer <br />Beggin God to give me her pain <br />Because it just doent seem right or fair <br />That some one so young could go insane <br />She wonders, 'Why do people try to change me? <br />Am I not good enough? ' <br />I tell her, 'simply be Heidi' <br />And she says, 'Loosing myself makes it tough' <br />Shes the kind of kid you see on the news <br />With the head lines flashing 'SUICIDE' <br />I dont care what she wants she wont loose <br />Whether she knows it or not Im on her side <br />For what would I do without her kisses Goodnight <br />And her persistent hugs <br />Her smile that gives me might <br />And her unmerciful shoulder slugs <br />She needs to refuse defeat <br />To plow through this strife <br />To live on Dexter-Chelsea Road <br />Because we need each other in life <br /> <br />Written By~ Katie Wiggin <br />Dedicated To~ Heidi Wiggin<br /><br />Heidi Wiggin<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sister-to-sister-dedication/
