this is a poem to my

                     Sister

                          Alexa

who isn't afraid to say what's Real

         who has been my Shepherd through the worst times

         and has done Everything she could to help me find

the answer that is best

to my problems, when all the rest

                                 would Frown and look away

                                 or tell me i Shouldn't be that way

the Sense and Advice behind your eyes

stopped my quaking every time.

Acceptance and Support you plant in my stride.

because no one can

     not by       (themselves)        everyone needs a Hand

to Steady their Soul when the eyes go dark

so i write this for everyone who played

the Beautiful role that made

someone else's day a little Brighter

       and for my Sister Alexa,

       engaged and glowing,

       and Kind as ever.
