A prayer that was answered

AS I PUT MY HANDS TOGETHER, AND I CLOSE MY EYES , AND I SPEAK TO MY HEAVENLY FATHER, I DO THE SAME THING EVERYDAY, IN THE MORNING AND NIGHT, WHEN I JUST CAN'T BARE, AND I NEED TO TALK TO MY FATHER WITH DEEP RESPECT AND ASK HIS HOLY SPIRIT.TO BLESS EVERYONE I LOVE AND FOR THERE SAFETY.

I ALWAYS STOP AND STARE AND MY FRIENDS, AND RELATIVE, AND SEE THE JOY THEY HAVE IN THERE FACE WHEN THEY SPEND TIME WITH THERE BROTHERS AND SISTERS
THEY JOY THEY SEE AND LOVE THEY HAVE FOR ONE ANOTHER WHEN THEY LOOK INTO EACH OTHER EYES AND SAY THIS IS MY BROTHER THIS IS MY SISTER, THIS IS YOUR AUNTIE THIS IS YOUR UNCLE.

I WAS ALWAYS ASKED HELEN DO YOU HAVE ANY BROTHERS AND SISTERS, I WOULD SAY NO, I AM THE ONLY CHILD EVEN THOUGH I WAS RAISED WITH MY TWO COUSINS WHO WERE BROTHERS AND SISTER, IT WAS JUST NOT THE SAME EVEN THOUGH WE ARE FAMILY THEY ALWAYS VIEWED ME AS THE COUSIN.

IN MY DEEPEST THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS I WOULD ALWAYS ASK THE LORD ABOVE TO BLESS ME WITH A SISTER , A LITTLE SISTER WHOM I CAN LOVE AND ENJOY, LAUGH AND TALK WITH. SHOW GENUINE LOVE TOO, AND VICE VERSE SOMEONE TO TEACH ME THINGS OF WISDOM AND JUST BECAUSE SOME MAY BE THE OLDER SISTER IT IS NOT ALWAYS TRUE THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE OLDER YOU ARE MORE WISER, BECAUSE YOUTH AS WISDOM IN IT AS WELL.

AS TIME PASSED I LIVED MY LIFE AS BEING SINGLE WENT TO SCHOOL AND COLLEGE WORKED SERVED MY HEAVENLY FATHER AS I DO NOW, GOT MARRIED HAD TWO BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS, AND A GREAT HUSBAND OF 18 YEARS BUT IT WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING MISSING IN MY LIFE, AND I NEVER FELT FULL CIRCLE, I PRAYED AND PRAYED, FOR SOMEONE ,LOVE ME AS A REAL TRUE SISTER, NOT A CLOSE FRIEND, OR SOMEONE TO SAY YES THAT IS MY SIS OR SISTER. BUT SOMEONE WHO WILL BE A REAL SISTER TO BE AS IF I WAS ADOPTED INTO THE FAMILY AND THE JUDGE WITH THE ALMIGHTY APPROVAL SIGNED ON THE DOTTED LINE,

SO ONE DAY I GOT UP ONE MORNING AND DECIDE TO GO ON A SITE CALLED YOU-TUBE AND JUST TO SEE IF MY ACCOUNT WAS STILL THERE BEING I PUT ONE FAMILY VIDEO UP BEING NAIVE AS TO WHAT THE TY WAS AND ALL ABOUT. SO MY HUSBAND TOLD ME HELEN WHY DON'T YOU PUT ONE OF YOUR POEMS UP AND SHARE WITH THE MASSES AND SEE HOW IT WILL TURN OUT, AND I SAID YOUR RIGHT SO I LOOKED IN MY JOURNAL, AND DUG DEEP IN MY MINDSET AND STARTED TO PUT MY THOUGHTS AND MY LOVE OF SPOKEN WORD TO SHARE WITH OTHERS ON MY CHANNEL NOW KNOWN AS HELEN POETIC CAFE LOUNGE.

SO AS MY ROUTINE GOES I PRAY FIRST BEFORE I GO TO SLEEP WHEN I WAKE UP FOR MY FAMILY , FRIENDS MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN FAITH, AND FOR LIFE IN GENERAL. AS I PRAY I ALWAYS ASK FOR THE ALMIGHTY HOLY SPIRIT TO PROTECT MY HOUSEHOLD AND ALL WHOM I LOVE AND CARE ABOUT AND FOR THE SAFETY OF MAN, BECAUSE  GOD DID SAY LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF SO THAT IS WHAT I DO

SO THIS ONE DAY I WAS LOOKING THROUGH CHANNELS AND I SAW A VISION OF PURE BEAUTY , SO PRETTY FUNNY, ENTERTAINING , SMART , WITTY INTELLIGENT, KIND, GOD FEARING, LOVING, JUST A GREAT HUMAN BEING IN GENERAL, AND MORE AND MORE I WOULD LOOK AT THIS CHANNEL, AND I SAW HER MOTHER, AND I PRAYED IN MY MIND AND HEART I HAVE SEEN THIS WOMAN BEFORE I DO NOT KNOW WERE OR WHEN BUT I HAVE, AND THIS CONNECTION, STARTED TO COME FROM THIS CHANNEL, AND MORE AND MORE I PUT MY POEMS UP MORE AND MORE I WAS LED TO THIS CHANNEL, AND THEN I STARTED TO TALK TO THIS BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, AND HER MOTHER , AND I TOLD THEM THIS DIVINE PRAYERS THAT I HAVE BEEN PRAYING FOR I BELIEVE IN MY HEART I WAS LED TO YOUR CHANNEL, SO TIME HAS PAST AND WENT ON , AND TIME HAS PAST AND WENT,

AND AS I GET ON MY KNEES WELL AS I SIT IN MY BED AND CLOSE MY EYES AND PRAY TO MY HEAVENLY FATHER, AND AS TEARS STREAM DOWN MY FACE, LIKE A WATER FALL OF JOYOUS BLESSINGS CASCADING DOWN MY CHEEKBONES,

AS I BEGAN TO PRAY AS SAY TO MY LORD THANK YOU  FOR SENDING ME MY LITTLE SISTER THAT I ALWAYS DREAMED OF HAVING, THE JOY AND NOT BEING THE ONLY CHILD HAS BEEN FILLED AND ANSWERED IT MAY OF TOOK 41 YEARS TO HAPPEN BUT ITS EVEN BETTER, BECAUSE THE LOVE I HAVE FOR MY SISTER GOD, IT JUST GETS BETTER WITH TIME, LIKE THE SONG SAYS. YOU ARE THE APHA AND THE OMEGA THERE IS NO ONE IN-FRONT OF YOU ARE AFTER YOU . AND YOU BLESSED ME WITH THE SAME ALMIGHTY GOD WITH MY SISTER LORTA BETTS MANY KNOW HER AS LULU, AND I DEEPLY THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART JEHOVAH FOR SENDING ME THIS PRECIOUS GIFT OF LOVE, AND I KNOW IN MY HEART I NEVER HAVE TO SECOND GUESS THE LOVE SHE HAS FOR ME, AND I FOR HER,

LULU HAS BECOME A PERMANENT FIXTURE IN THE DAVIS HOUSEHOLD. HER LOVING MY HUSBAND AND DAUGHTERS LIKE THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN HER LIFE, THERE IS NOT A MOMENT THAT GOES BY THAT MY LOVE WELL EVER WAVER, BECAUSE SHE IS A GIFT THAT YOU HAVE SENT TO ME, AND I WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL FOR THE MANY BLESSINGS YOU HAVE BESTOWED ON ME AND MY FAMILY, AND I THANK I ASKED THAT YOU BLESSED MY HOUSEHOLD AND MY SISTERS HOUSEHOLD WITH YOUR HOLY SPIRIT AND I PRAY FOR THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT ARE ENDURING HARD-TIMES THAT YOU PROTECT AND BLESS THEM AS WELL. AND I ASK THIS THROUGH YOUR SON CHRIST JESUS AMEN.

AND AS I SLOWLY OPEN MY EYES AND WIPE THE TEARS FROM MY FACE. I SIT AND MEDITATE ON THE LONGEVITY OF THE LOVE THAT MY LITTLE SISTER LULU HAS BESTOWED TO ME IN THIS TIME I NEEDED HER SO DEEPLY, WITH ME BEING SICK, I ALWAYS WANTED SOMEONE THAT MY DAUGHTERS CAN SAY, I AM GOING TO CALL MY AUNTIE LULU AND SEE WHAT SHE GOT UP FOR THE WEEKEND, WE BOTH ENDURE AND DEAL WITH ILLNESS AND SEVER CHRONIC PAIN, AND ALLOT PEOPLE WHO DO NOT EXPERIENCE THAT WILL NEVER KNOW THE PAIN AND HEARTACHE THAT COMES WITH THAT, AND THE ONLY WAY IT CAN BE CALMED DOWN AND ABLE TO COPE WITH IS BY GODS HOLY SPIRIT BECAUSE HE SAID HE WOULD NEVER LET YOU GO THROUGH ANYTHING YOU CANNOT BARE, AND SINCE MY SISTER WAS BLESSED INTO MY LIFE MY FAMILY AND MY HEART THE DAYS HAVE BECOME EASIER TO COPE WITH. AND DEAL WITH.

AND OUR MOTHER IS THE MOTHER THAT I WAS BLESSED WITH TWO FOLDS BECAUSE MINE IS LONGER HERE AND I KNOW SHE WOULD BE PROUD OF ME TO SEE THAT THE MOTHER THAT I AM BLESSED WITH LOVES ME AS SHE WAS STANDING NEXT TO ME WIPING THE TEARS FROM MY FACE AS I WRITE THESE WORDS TO THIS POEM. I CALL HER MOMMY AS IF THE FIRST DAY I LOOKED INTO HER EYES I KNEW THAT I WOULD BE CALLING HER MY MOMMY AND THE LOVE SHE SHOWS ME, BRINGS GREAT HEARTFELT JOY TO MY LIFE, MY DAY, AND MY HEART.

AS THE DAYS GO ON DAY BY DAYS EVEN THOUGH WE ARE LIVING IN THIS TIME OF THE END, THE LAST DAYS , THE LOVE OF FAMILY IS SOMETHING SO PRECIOUS THAT WE SHOULD ALL HOLD ON TOO, SOME FAMILY'S TREAT EACH OTHER SO SO BAD,.AND IT IS A SHAME, BECAUSE THE LOVE I HAVE NOW I CAN SAY I AM NO-LONGER THE ONLY CHILD SO WHEN YOU ASKED ME HELEN DO YOU HAVE ANY BROTHERS OR SISTERS AND I WILL ANSWER YES, HER NAME IS LULU SHE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON AND SISTER YOU WOULD EVER WANT TO MEET, AND SHE IS A BLESSING TO ME THAT I WILL ALWAYS CHERISH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, SHE MAY BE YOUNGER THEN ME. BUT LULU IS THE MOST SWEETEST KINDNESS GENEROUS MOTHER, SISTER ,DAUGHTER , YOU WOULD EVER WANT TO MEET AND AUNTIE AS WELL.

AND WHEN SHE TOOK THE LEAD AND AGREEMENT TO BE THE GIRLS MOTHER, AND TREAT THEM THE SAME DEEP HEART FELT LOVE SHE SHOWS ME, I KNEW THEN THAT THEY WOULD BE IN GOOD HANDS, BECAUSE THEY LOVE HER ALREADY. AND I CAN BE IN PEACE KNOWING IF MY ILLNESS TAKES MY BREATH AWAY THAT THEY WOULD FOREVER BE IN GOOD HANDS, AND MY HUSBAND CAN COPE AND DEAL JUST ALITTLE MUCH BETTER KNOWING THE GIRLS HAVE THERE AUNTIE TO TURN TOO.

IN THE BEGIN OF MY POEM I TOLD YOU, IT WAS SOMETHING MISSING NOW THE PUZZLE PEACE IS IN PLACE AND FOREVER  CEMENTED IN THE PICTURE FRAME OF MY LOVE AND DEEP UNITY FOR MY FAMILY BEING GOD FIRST MY HUSBAND AND MY GIRLS AND MY SISTER AND MOMMY AND NEPHEW, TO HAVE AND TO HOLD NOW I AM FULL CIRCLE, I HAVE HER BACK, AND SHE HOLDS ME DOWN., AND I HOLD HERE DOWN WERE SHE IS WEAK, AND ALWAYS KNEW THAT IF I EVER WAS BLESSED WITH A SISTER I WOULD CHERISH HER, AND LOVE HER UNCONDITIONALLY AND IF WE EVER HAD A PROBLEM OR DIFFERENCE IN OPINION THAT, THAT WE WILL COMMUNICATE LIKE SISTERS ARE SUPPOSE TO DO , IN THE WAY THE ALMIGHTY HAS SET OUT THE GUIDLINES FOR US TO FOLLOW IN HIS SON CHRIST JESUS FOOTSTEPS, I TEACH MY DAUGHTER WHEN THEY FIGHT OR GET UPSET WITH ONE ANOTHER NEVER PUTTING THERE HANDS ON EACH OTHER, BUT TO TALK IT OUT BEFORE THEY GO TO BED. BECAUSE GOD SAID NEVER GO TO BED WITH ANGER IN YOUR HEART AND MIND. SETTLE THE MATTER SAY I LOVE YOU AND KEEP IT MOVING,. THAT IS HOW ME AND MY SISTER ARE ACCUSTOMED TO DO, WE MAY NOT ALWAYS AGREE BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY WE ALWAYS AGREE TO DISAGREE AND PUT OUR POINTS OUT THERE ALWAYS HAVING MUTUAL LOVE AND RESPECT FOR ONE ANOTHER, AND SPEAKING LOVE AND TRUGH FOR ONE ANOTHER ALWAYS KNOWING EVEN THOUGH IT MAY HURT AND WE DO NOT WANT TO HEAR IT WE LISTEN SHOWING THE UTMOST RESPECT FOR ANOTHER, BECAUSE WE KNOW IN THE LONG RUN THAT IT IS BENEFICIAL TO US BECAUSE THE LOVE WE HAVE FOR ONE ANOTHER WOULD NEVER DIRECT EACH OTHER TO DANGER OR FALL SHORT.

I AM HAPPY , MY DAYS ARE BRIGHTER, BECAUSE I HAVE A LITTLE SISTER NOW , TO LOVE AND CHERISH, AND SPOIL TO THE UTMOST, AS THE YEARS GO BY I KNOW MY DISEASE WILL BE MORE DISABLING TO ME, AND I KNOW THAT WHEN I CAN'T SHE WILL, AND WHEN I CAN SHE WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR ME AS IF I WAS THE ONE DOING IT FOR MYSELF, THE PAIN I ENDURE IS WERE THE TUMORS FORM ON MY NERVE ENDINGS AND IT BRINGS GREAT PAIN AND ANXIETY TO ME. BUT I KNOW WHEN I FALL SHORT, MY SISTER WILL BE THERE FOR ME. SHE WILL FIND A WAY. TO BE THERE WITH ME AND FOR ME. DOWN TO MY LAST WORDS AND MY DYING BREATH AND I WILL HOLD ON WITH MY HUSBAND AND DAUGHTERS UNTIL MY SISTER ARRIVES, AND THEN I CAN TELL THEM ALL WITH OUR MOMMY AND NEPHEW ALL TOGETHER IN A CIRCLE TELLING EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM HOW MUCH I LOVE AND CHERISH EACH AND EVERYONE , AND AS I LET OUT MY LAST BREATH I KNOW MY FAITH AND LOVE FOR GOD I WILL SEE EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM AGAIN.

BUT NOW ITS NOT THE TIME TO TALK ABOUT A BREATHLESS LIFE, ITS TIME TURN TURN UP AND CELEBRATE THE LOVE OF TWO SISTER , I MEAN REAL TRUE LOVE THAT WILL GO DOWN IN THE TRENCHES FOR ONE ANOTHER, ALWAYS COMING FULL CIRCLE KNOWING I GOT HER BACK AND SHE GOT MINE

SO LETS ALL STAND UP AND IF YOU HAVE A SISTER OR BROTHER THAT YOU LOVE SO DEARLY, TELL THEM ALWAYS AND APPRECIATE THEM, SHOW THEM THE LOVE A BROTHER AND SISTER IS SUPPOSE TO HAVE FOR ONE ANOTHER YOU MAY BE MARRIED AND YOU ARE WITH YOUR MATE . EVEN THOUGH IT SAID  A HUSBAND WILL LEAVE MOTHER FATHER, SISTER BROTHER.

THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM TO ALWAYS HAVE MUTUAL RESPECT AND LOVE FOR YOUR BROTHER OR SISTER, BECAUSE QUIET AS ITS KEPT THERE ARE MANY MANY ONLY CHILDREN OUT THERE, THAT PLAY THEMSELVES ASKING THERE FATHER AND MOTHER FOR A BROTHER OR SISTER OR A PLAYMATE, AND WHO YOU GROWNUP ALWAYS PRAYING FOR SOMEONE TO FILL THOSE SHOES, AND ALWAYS BEING USED IT AND MISSED HERE AND THERE, I ALWAYS KEPT MY HEART OPEN NOT LETTING THE PAS EFFECT THE BLESSINGS I HAVE IN-STORE FOR MY FUTURE AND I WILL SING IT LOUD PROUD, AND I LOVE MY SISTER LULU BETTS WITH ALL MY HEART, AND I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MY BLESSINGS TO EXPERIENCE WHAT IT IS LIKE TO HAVE SOMEONE LOVE YOU BACK IN THE WAY YOU LOVE, AS A TRUE SISTER, MY BLOOD SISTER, THAT SHE IS .BECAUSE THE ALL MIGHTY SIGNED ON THE DOTTED LINE AND WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE EACH OTHER.
