The Two Princesses By: Angel Ward page 2

“I am,” I said yawning.“Oh sorry” I said covering my mouth. “It’s all right” she replied smiling. “But I don’t want leave her” I said. Covering another yawn. “I know you don’t “she said softly. “Princess Angel may I ask you something” she asked looking down at me. “Sure you can ask me anything” I replied looking up into her face. “How can you be there for your sister if you’re so tired you can barely stay awake?” I considered her question. I was exhausted and a nap did sound like a wonderful idea. I looked over at Lisa who was sleeping. I smiled at the nurse sleepily. “Would you please call me if she wakes up?” I asked. “Yes I will,” she said. I looked at Lisa again and softly said, “Lisa I’ll be back soon I love you.” Then I left the room and when I got home I went straight to the bedroom Lisa and I shared. I stopped beside my bed to Pray before trying to lie down. “Dear Lord” I said. You know Princess Lisa’s sick. I said. "If it be your will that you make her well", in your name I pray amen. Then I sat there quietly to listen. I heard a soft voice reply. “In time my daughter in time. “ I will never leave you or your sister he reminded me. “Thank you Lord” I remember saying softly, as I got into bed and went to sleep. A few hours later I woke up to the sound of our bedside phone ringing. I rubbed my eyes and reached for the phone Hello. “Princess Angel” I knew the nurse’s voice right away. “Yes how is my sister?” I asked. “She’s a little better,” the nurse said. I could tell that she was smiling as she told me the good news. “She’s waking up and asking for you.” “I’ll be right there,” I said hanging up the phone and getting back into my chair. I was back at the hospital at Lisa’s side within ten minutes. “Angel” Lisa said looking at me as I came in her room. “Will I get better?” She asked me. “Yes you will but it might take some time” I told her.
