I Have To Thank My Sister

I have to thank my sister for something years ago
It's written in this message that I think she ought to know

I have to thank my sister for everything she's done
To keep me in the family the time we lost our mom

I have to thank my sister each and every day
For never ever letting children's aid take me away

I have to thank my sister for taking care of me
She was my guardian angel when she didn't have to be

I have to thank my sister for the life she chose to share
For me her little sister with her tender loving care

I have to thank my sister and her loving husband too
For doing all the things for me they didn't have to do

I have to thank my sister until e-ter-ni-ty
I'm proud that she's my sister and in my family

I have to thank my sister before the teardrops start
I love Paulette my sister from the bottom of my heart

by Deborah Lynn Gale

Thank You Paulette & Bill
LOVE YOU BOTH ALWAYS
