Took The Time

I was down

I was lonely

You put a smile on my face

You and you only,

Thank you for lending a hand

Just for being there

Helping me take a stand,

Thank you for making

My outlook so positive

For helping me mend my wounds

When my life was so negative,

The scars will remain

But when I look at them

I'll gladly think of what you have done

Over and over again,

Not sure where I would be

Without you in my life right now

My little angel dealing with so much

Took the time to rescue me.

Author's Note

Dedicated to my niece, Kelsey Blanchard. I love you soooooo much!

A beautiful poem, the bonds we form sre our greatest strength. Your relation was like that of mine and my twin sister. We were close until the end. She ended up dying form leukimia, but this is a remarkable writing. I love how it flows like a dancer performing a perfect pirouette.

[Tarry Franck]

Thank you so much :)
