Put down the Pieces

When your life flashes before you, No need to look around Along with the almighty God, In family your comfort is found. Put down the pieces, Don’t put them back in place, Pick up the phone and know I’ll be there, To help with what you face. I am the one who lies in disgrace, When I see there is so little I can do. But I know you have so much faith, You pull the entire family through. I am so proud of what you’ve accomplished, And how strong you’ve always been, Though you think you are but a pebble, What does that make me then? A speck of dust before you, Willing to be there when you’ve come undone. Please don’t feel alone Amanda. I know I haven’t been the sister I could, But I want to let you know that I love you so much, And if I was as strong as you, I’d be a better supporter and Christian, I would. Laura Twellman 2/28/05
