My Sister and Me

When I was three my parents gave a special gift to me Small and pudgy, wrapped up so tight So precious, this gift, it was love at first sight A gift I would treasure for the rest of my life She touched my hand and smiled at me I knew in that moment always together we would be Best friends forever, my sister and me Her first day of school our mum looked at me Why put your boots on, she asked curiously Anyone touches my sister they answer to me Always by her side in case she needed me Never did she stray too far in case I needed she In that moment anyone could see, always together we would be Best friends forever, my sister and me Together we laughed, suffered and cried Holding her hand as her child is born Losses of love, together we mourn In times of sorrow her tears I wipe away At my weakest moment she helps me to my feet Forever, through these moments, together we be Best friends forever, my sister and me In old age I wonder what we will be Two crazy old ladies sitting under a tree In our rocking chairs with cats in our laps Laughing and talking of the places we have been Every story beginning with remember when we? No story ending, life one big adventure for you and me All these moments to cherish when you and I made we My best friend and my sister, forever you will be
