Sister, I Will Carry You

Created many moons ago, for my older Sister.

Sister, I Will Carry You

Been tried through the fires of hell

Been through worse than this

You don’t know my hell

Sister I will carry you

Despised, beaten, broken in pieces

Still, wouldn’t want to be anyone else

I turn my stones into diamonds

And place them in my raven hair

Triumph over tragedy

Rain over sunshine anyday

You’ve locked me out in every way

I’ll carry you, Sister, anyway

Feet bloodied from the journey

Heavy loads are nothing new

I collect your arrows & build a fort

Sister, I will carry you

Sister, I will carry you
