The news declares a wreck on I-15
A three-alarm fire and impending storm
An Amber Alert shows a missing child
And my baby sister has leukemia
My daughter wants help with training a horse
My granddaughter needs a bedtime story
And hugs and kisses and tucked into bed
And my baby sister has leukemia
There are bills to pay and chores to do
I move as fast as I can but still can’t keep up
So many hats I must wear to make life work
And my baby sister has leukemia
So…the pace of life screeches to a halt
Soon, however, heartbreak fuels action
I lay myself down for a bone tissue test
And my baby sister has leukemia
Karen, my favorite write of yours. Glad you’re here! Rebecca~
Karen, you wrote this in a way that shows each and everyone of us that although tragedy strikes, we need to continue with the everyday things that have to be taken care of. Each and everyone of us are pulled in so many different directions, that sometimes…even when tragedy strikes…we tend to go through life on autopilot.
Touching write that tugs at the heart…especially the last two lines.
