To My Sister Lynn

I've never before had the priveledge of being so near A special person like you whom I hold so dear You are my friend and for this I'm thankful You've never judged me and for that I'm grateful You've helped me up when I was down And I can always count on you to be around You're always there to lend an ear And all my thoughts you're willing to hear We've walked through the bad times till we found some good Then spiritually hand in hand there we stood We draw upon strength from each other Like a babe does from it's mother It strikes us both in awesome wonder How as time goes by we're even closer You've touched me way down deep inside Beyond the facade and foolish pride And I gladly say to all the rest To this soul you are one of the very best Copyright © by Scarlett Anderson Written in 1987 Note: This is inspired by my best friend in the whole world. I will always cherish the times we were so close. Although many miles apart now we still stay in touch after 25 years.

Nice tribute. I had 4 brothers and my wife had 2 brothers. Probably why we spoiled our daughter. Vince

I see you are fairly new here, so please let me say "Welcome"! Yes, this site is addictive. I was away for three weeks and couldn't wait to return home and see what I'd missed. Hope to read more of your work soon. Love, carolyn

Awesome tribute to your sister Scarlett. Very inspiring to hear of such friendship, between siblings. In view of the fact this is often not the case at all. Thanks for your comments. Sincerely, Love, Moses

Now this is the type of sister and friend we should all have. Someone who sticks by you without criticizing, but offers support and comfort. I hope you showed this to her; it's so beautiful. Love, Carolyn
