In tribute to my sister who is 39 today!
If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded.
- Maya Angelou
Ode to My Sister
Sweet sister, you
Love and are loved
Unconditionally
Bright sunshine, you
Beam your warmth
And light to all
Sparkling wine, you
Lighten our load;
Ever crisp and clean
Caring woman, you
Are the essence
Of God to all of us

No one else like them. I am so close to mine and can't imagine what it would be like to be an only child, without a sibling to witness our family history together.
