Learn to put your personal issues and differences aside when crisis arises. Who knows... you may gain some insight about the other person and the bond just may flow over into your day-to-day interaction. Don't cheat yourself of a potentially Great friend.

Dear Sister-in-Law



My groaning spirit breaks forth
with sobs of deep despair
When sadness lines your eyes
as you sit wish and stare

Do you not recognize my love for you?
My eyes they say I Care!
I feel your hurt and deep regrets
And I'm always very near

With your voice do speak honestly
And tell me what you need
Don't punish me with silence
Don't shut me out--Please!

I want to stand beside you
Support you when you're sad
I want to be your very best friend
The best you've ever had

When life commitments are formed
should not there mutual trust be?
Have ever ever I betrayed you?
or caused your heart to bleed?

So let not silence divide us
Or separate worlds --we form
Share with me your aches and pain
And together we'll weather the storm


Dedicated to my late husband Frank (R.I.P.) and sister, Lillie
