Sister, Sister
Sister, sister, life would be awful without my sister,
she is my rock, the voice of reason, my safe harbor;
not an older sibling but younger- always my anchor,
oh, she was born with an incredible inner strength.
She possesses all the beautiful qualities of my mother,
when I am ill- it is my sister who holds my hand;
by my side she will always and forever stand,
for me she goes the distance, no matter the length.
My sister is my soul's deepest love,
I will always listen and depend on her advice;
it is full of wisdom and is usually quite concise,
mother must be smiling down from her heavenly land.
Through all life's twists and turns we are one,
oh, those days of childhood play until the sun was done.
