This One's for you Sister

God Gave me a Sister

It’s true, I never had a brother,

But I was a tomboy, said my father and mother,

My only sister was not at all like me,

She didn’t play sports or try to climb up a tree,

She had beautiful long, blonde hair and her nails were pristine,

She was a girly girl, if you know what I mean,

She found a job and began working while still in high school,

And is still working today, but she’s nobody’s fool,

She is nearing retirement and a much-needed rest,

Her patience has really been put to the test,

She is graceful and witty, and a real blessing, you see,

I am fortunate that God gave my sister to me,

And, oh, nobody can beat her incredible accessorizing,

She has a wardrobe so coordinated it’s mesmerizing,

She’s a mother of one and a Mimi of two,

And a wife, a daughter, an awesome aunt through and through,

But mostly she is my sister, who lives far away,

I really miss her and want her to know I love her today.
