Song for Sister

   
Let it go and move on    
There's no need to get caught up  
In the things that corrupt your mind...  
   
Open up, let me in  
Peel away from your tough skin  
And embrace the true love of your existence...  
   
When the sun rises again  
Breath in life, breathe it in  
Feel the warmth and take another step forward...  
   
Every day we practice this  
But together we can't miss  
The opportunities await if we see them...  
   
So let it go and move on  
You're not alone this time around  
We will see this journey through to the end...  
   
Hand in hand we will see  
All the love that we need  
Has been waiting within all along...  
   
Emmy Jean, we love you  
Family we are True  
We believe in you...  
   
   
   
   
[ Author's Note: ]  
   
This was a song I wrote for my sister  
in the Winter of 2014/15 after  
I found out that she had been caught  
in the grips of heavy narcotic abuse...  
   
I was living on the West Coast with  
a nation of States separating us and  
felt helpless to be there for her...  
   
When I moved back to Michigan  
I struggled to sing this song to her  
but as I finished, forcing back tears  
a Giant Butterfly blew in on the warm  
Summer breeze, as pictured...
