Throughout most of my life
You were there to help me with the strife
You waited when I lagged and couldn’t keep pace
When I was down and sad, you put a smile on my face
You fought for me when I couldn’t fight
When things went dark, you brought the light
You taught me how to be a lady and fix my hair
Yet you also taught me how to be crazy with flair
You were older than me
But you always took the time to see
You taught me never to be a fake
And you always made my birthday cake
We were sisters not by blood or birth
Which made our bond tighter than anything on earth
Without you, I’m lost at sea
I’ll always love you, Vickie Lea
Happy Birthday in Heaven, you’d be 55
If I had your wish, you’d still be alive
♥️ 🎂 ♥️ 🎂 ♥️
♥️ 🎂 ♥️ 🎂 ♥️
In heaven's embrace,
Vickie Lea, on your birthday,
We remember you.
♥️ 🎂 ♥️ 🎂 ♥️

Not everyone knew you like me

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

This made me so emotional. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
Blood does not a family make. So true. We take so much for granted, this life we have. i hope you are doing well, Vicky is near you, you just cannot see her. be well and of good courage.
That is so lovely. My condolences on the loss of your friend(sister).
A lovely poem, beautifully written.
Well-wrought! I have blood brothers who I dearly love, but my best friend is also my brother, so I can relate!
Awww, this was so sweet MC!! Brought a smile and a tear to my eye! I adored it!!
A sad and beautiful poem! 😇
Happy Heavenly Birthday Vickie Lea. Amazing dedication, Mother. 💖
