For my sister

For my sister 


Across the seas 
where sun meets sky,
My thoughts of you 
go flying high,
In foreign lands 
where dreams reside,
My little sister, 
with love and pride.

I miss your laughter, 
bright and clear,
The way you bring 
the world so near,
Your gentle heart, 
your spirit free,
In every thought, 
you’re here with me.

New adventures 
call your name,
In places new, 
your spirit’s flame,
Yet though we’re far, 
my love remains,
A bond that distance 
never strains.

I wonder how 
your days unfold,
The stories new, 
the tales untold,
If skies are blue 
or nights are bright,
If you find peace 
in every sight.

Remember when 
the world seems vast,
Our childhood memories 
hold fast,
In every step, 
in every start,
You carry home 
within your heart.

Though miles apart, 
we stay entwined,
In whispered thoughts, 
in heart and mind,
My little sister, 
brave and true,
I’m always here, 
supporting you.

So as you journey 
far and wide,
Know love and pride 
walk by your side,
For in my heart, 
you always stay,
My sister dear, 
come what may.
