To My Sister On Her Wedding Day

I opened my eyes and you were there I cried for the first time, you still were I looked up at you as I crawled on the floor So happy you were, running through the door I stood up on my feet and followed your footsteps Innocently smiling, you watched as I made my first steps We both grew older and started the fights Still we’d play and laugh on hot summer nights And on dark freezing winter days, I’d fall asleep in your warm embrace A real best friend I’ve found in you Like a mother’s love; so sweet, so true How lucky I was, life seemed so fair Smothered with tremendous love and care You taught me how love can be unconditional You showed me such love was real, not fictional You showed me how in two bodies one soul can dwell And what it meant to be a sister’s protective shell Sharing my life with you has been a great pleasure Our sisterhood will remain my truly greatest treasure You’ve now become a beautiful bride And I look at you with indescribable pride I wish you a lifetime full of love and delight I wish to always see your smile shining so bright
