Sierra,

You're my sister,

And if you're hurt,

And you're in the hospital I think I might just have to conquer my fear.

I've been lost lately,

And I can tell from the last time I saw you,

You've been lost too.

I'm sorry all I could do was make you laugh and smile,

And it might not have been real laughter or smiling,

But you don't deserve the pain you're going through,

And if I could I'd **** all the pain from you and unto me.

Because I think I deserve it more than you.

You've always been there to listen,

You've always been there to free my spirit,

And I'm sorry I never thanked you.

I always did listen to what you had to say..

And I'm sorry philosophical advice was all I could give you.

I remember our funnest memories and our bad memories




Naming the trampoline, Fernanand of course.

Always searching for resources

All the little tea parties we used to have.

Jumping on Fernanand with the sprinklers on and listening to Bon Jovi and screaming the lyrics at the top of our lungs.

Sleeping on Fernanand , getting eaten alive by misquitoes.

Sitting under the mushroom at the public kiddy pool.

Seeing all those shadows,

Sharing deep dark secrets.

Our first meeting.

Setting notes under the house mats like we were spies.

Playing tip the cow on Fernanand.

Crying together.

Funny make overs

Sharing books,

Being ourselves.

Being sisters




Our bad memories...




Our fights

Moving ...

And when you're hurt,

I hurt too.




I don't know why you got this pain,

I did not.

When I deserve it more,

Than you.

You,

My dearest friend Sierra.

You did nothing.

Would you still hurt,

If we were together,




Sierra

I wish I could help.

I wish I could come visit you

But I don't think you'd like it if I had to commit ****** in a hospital to do that.

We are attached by soul chains

If you snap,

I will snap with you.

Do me a favor and don't snap.

Never give up..

Shoot for the stars...

Cry when you need to...

Write when you want....

Just because you're in that room,

Does not mean you cannot achieve your dreams.




Your description...

Just a girl following her dreams...




You're more than that..

You're my inspiration achieving her dreams.




We will never lose each other...

you cry, I cry.

You hurt, I hurt.




You don't deserve this pain...

I do...

Sierra..

My dearest friend..

My dearest sister...

My closest friend...

My closest sister....

Please understand..

If I could come and save you,

I would....




To all the world's best, You're the best...

Never forget...

Sierra...

I love and miss you...

And I hope to see you soon..
God sleeps
In Sierra Leone
That country is bleeding,
It is like a dark cloud
Is over them
And its raining misery
Everywhere.
People are dying like flies
As if life
Has no value,
Those left behind
Are living in fear,
Fear of wondering
Who's next in line
For death
Is out for blood
The ghosts of terror
Are haunting my people.
God sleeps
In Sierra Leone
Prayers of my fellow
Africans go in Vain.
God sleeps
In Sierra Leone
Pray for my African
Brothers
Pray for the lives
Of the people
Of Sierra Lione,
Pray for the bleeding
To stop
And for the wound
To heal,
God sleeps
In Sierra Leone
Pray for Sierra Leone,
Pray for the black man,
If a prayer
Is going Going to help.
Pray for Sierra Leone
Let the tears
Wash the pain
And misery.
