You’ll Always Be My Baby Sister

You’ll always be my baby sister I write to honor you
for all your kind and loving ways and gentle spirit too.
Your smile was such that we could see you coming from far away
people loved to meet with you- you brightened their every day.

I hear your laughter and see your joy to others you brought the same
life to you was never complicated it was never a vicious game.
You learned to live internally to let your little light shine
living each moment the best you could taking it one day at a time.

You kept your home most beautifully- your lovely haven of rest
people entered and felt so welcomed in this they were truly blessed.
You offered drink and also food giving the best you could
if it were possible to give the world this you surely would.

You’ve lovely daughters grandchildren too of which you were so proud
your heart it sang this beautiful song just ringing it out loud.
I remember watching you on your couch as you watched your little ones play
they never wanted to leave your side with you they wanted to stay.

This says a lot of the person you were and the one you’ll always be
such treasured moments and special times a golden memory.
To see a rose its beautiful scent igniting the passion of love
I see your face and hear your voice encircling from above.
