My Rock

[Nacht der Tiger]

Every time I felt down and low
She was there
She was my rock
Maybe not in person
But in spirit

Every time I was picked on in school
She was there
Making me feel better
Keeping my tears hidden
Keeping me strong

All the nights my father was drunk
My mother was gone
My friends had abandoned
And the world had gone wrong
She was my rock...
My strength
My only friend

And although she is now states away
And isn't here in person
Here spirit and strength still gets me through
It pains me to see her have a hard life
When she's done so much for me
I love her more than anything
She's always been my rock
And although she can not dry my tears
I know she is still here
Gently rocking me
Gently holding me
Gently, ever so gently
Making the world go away
So I may wear a smile
And make my dreams come true

About my older sister... writing my story has made me appreciate her more. For a contest on AP

That was very beautifully written Jessica.......seems all I do is fight with my sister but then I can be a prick though. I loved this poem though, couldn't be better.
