When I am gone

Life is not fair

People will not always care

You have to rely on the people you know

For they are the ones who will help you grow


You know I love you so

But one day it will be my time to go

You will have to rely on your sister

Even if she has a mister


I know she can be mean

But at least she is better than Dean

I will never want to leave you

For I have basically raised you since you were two 


I made you a promise to never leave you

And I intend to keep it too

But when I am gone

I want you and Ella to have the same bond


Please take care of each other

Even if you are mad at one another

Your sister is your best friend

Promise me you and Ella will be there for each other in the end

This poem is about how when I am gone I want my nieces to be closer than they are so that when I am gone they will have each other to fall back on
