Sister

Sister

When I feel down,
Depressed or alone,
You're by my side,
Here, home;

Your words are spoken,
Both our souls bared,
Shared secrets over endless days,
Together when scared;

A poignant reminder,
Of the past we both shared,
A kick into reality,
Showed you I cared;

Your permanent place in my heart,
Uncanny, unusual and unique,
We share our hopes and dreams,
With no one else we speak;

You and I are different,
Yet in many ways the same,
You're stouthearted and straight forward,
Never showing strain;

You're always on my shoulder,
Two souls but yet one voice,
You're my sister my nature,
But my best friend by choice.
