Acceptance

November 15, 2009
Doctor said You were going to die
Sisters were crying
Dad acted strong
Emotions flying
You'd been sick so long
One by one we had our chance
To say our peace
Before You past
i was last, held back my tears
Told You i loved You
And You had nothing to fear
You requested of me one thing to do
Tell You a story like i always used to
Which one i inquired
But i already knew
The brave little chipmunk
i wrote it for You
i told You the story
One final time
You smiled at me
and i begged in my mind
please Mommy don't leave me
And started to cry
i held Your hand tight
Kissed Your cool cheeks
What You whispered to me
Left me feeling weak
Little L.E. i love You
stay true to your heart
Even as a slave, Your my baby
And ill always be in your heart
Tears flowed down
That i couldn't contain
Happiest moment of my life
My Mom said who i am was okay
i had lost all my family and most of my friends
When i entered the lifestyle
And defended who.i was as they left
9:16 p.m.
That night You died
i broke down
i screamed and i cried
But what burned hottest
Inside my core
You accepted me
And i was ashamed no more
