My Sister ~ My Friend

Our shared and separate memories,

Our lives entwined and apart,

Our love for one another,

Secure in mind and heart.



Long remembered joys,

Never forgotten dreams,

Hurts and hopes, smiles and tears,

We took them to extremes.

I love you now, as then,

For the little child I knew

Resides within 

The wondrous, marvelous you.



Inviolate and sacred

Our bond will ever be

The line of life that runs

From you straight back to me.
