Abandoned Sisters

May 3, 2013

I promised to protect you- to never let you down. But we've been separated for so long- I can still see your frown. Gone I am, and like this I shall stay. But I just need to let you know that everything will be okay. I'm having some struggles- my very own frowns. But I just can't help it; Momma let us all down. Please know that I miss you and that you're always on my mind. Still, I must handle this alone so Little One be kind. It's scary to face the world but you can do it- I am sure. Facing your heart will be harder, especially when I can't offer you a cure. I promise you'll be safe, and you will once again be mine. I promise I'll come back-- It just might take a little time.

This poem is to my little sisters who I haven't seen in years. It was really hard to leave them- especially when I raised them more than our mom- but I was having a lot of issues I needed to get through. I know I'll see them again someday, though, and they'll be safe in my arms again.
