Sisters Again

for Lorrie...maybe someday

You are the sister
who I never really knew
yes, I heard the stories
-didn't believe they were true
I ignored the facts
out of envy, I guess
I didn't want to know you
-couldn't have cared less.

but now I feel so differently
and I really do regret
being thirty-three
and not knowing you yet
now I'm reaching out to you
and I hope you will accept
I pray to God above
you can forgive and forget.

Let's just start over
we can go slow
we'll start as friends
and then, who knows?
we'll get to know each other
and maybe in the end
we might even get to be
Sisters "Again"

Its always the hardest, when family members hurt each other and than try to bridge this chasm. The pain which is not easily forgotten by the agrieved parties. Sometimes, the other party isn't ready or willing to accept the olive branch offered to them. We all heal at a different rate. Wishing you, luck in reconnecting with your sister. Thank you for sharing this very personal poem with us.
