I’m my sister’s keeper so much as to offer
my flower petal hugs, when she’s about to blow
I am my sister’s keeper, the ear for her stories, a healthy heart for her pain, her smile
when she’s sad.
I am my sister’s keeper so much as to motivate her to do better, pray for her peace
within
& keep it real with her wrongness no matter the weather.
My gift of chocolate strawberries always wideness her green eyes
Watching them glow.
My sister’s keeper is my best friend, the one who influenced me to grow.
With the spice of peppermint candy our friendship will never get old.
Cucumber melon graces my nose when we laugh in each other’s face
The ringing of gongs, reminds me that time Does go to waste.
My sister’s keeper, my lifelong friend, a heartfelt message written to my sister until
I see you again.
