Thank You (For My Sister, Virginia Kinney)
Thank you so very much, for all that you have done;
I knew that I could trust you, that you could be the one;
You are my Sister, yet you have become another Mother-
I knew that I could rely upon you, more than any other!
A lot has been asked of you, and you did not fail-
I know that it has taken much, yet, your time you did avail.
I know too, the position you have been put into is precarious,
Yet still, the roles that you have played-many and various!
I am so sorry all of this happened to us;
Yet, because of same, we have garnered even more trust.
Soon, I shall be far enough away,
So that you too do not have to live in fear every day;
Soon, the burden I present shall be gone-
And everyone may finally begin to move on!
