Word Portrait

She gazes at me with those ocean eyes.
I feel the total purity of her love.
As I send a prayer of thanks up to the skies
I know that she's an angel from above.

Torn apart so many years ago
we are making up for that time lost.
Now if there's one thing I truly know-
we'll be together no matter the cost.

Side by side we stand and sing our song.
Her lovely voice rings out across the ridges.
Blonde curls frame a face I've missed too long.
No more time will we spend burning bridges.

This West Virginia lass is my dear sis.
Her life has been a rocky road till now.
But together we will find our joy and bliss.
Sisters for eternity is our vow.
