Hey sis,
I wish we could of had a better life together.
I wish mom would of had a better dad for us, then maybe there could have been forever.
I am so sorry that you felt that you had to leave us at eighteen years old.
You finished high school, on your own you wanted to be, we were told.
I know things got rough and really you needed your mom, but she wasn't there.
Mom was not your regular mom, she didn't think the same way, but deep down she cared.
We didn't always have the things we needed, we all suffered, remember.
Our house got burnt in early September.
That all happened growing up, maybe she just didn't try enough.
When you left things were never the same at home.
Your beautiful voice, brought us joy, eventually I felt alone.
My little sis left us, the one I confided all.my secrets to.
But at least you were happy, tis true.
Then as time went on, one by one we all found lives of our own.
At least we can say the one thing we always had was love in our home.
