~Chance made us sisters, Hearts made us friends
For my sister Julie~
Time has changed our secrets
and the pigtails in our hair;
It has changed the silly arguments
and the giggles that we shared.
It has changed our childish happiness
to grown-up make-believe,
And leaving us with little else,
it has slowly changed
our dreams....
Time has come along and changed
the essence of our world;
Then finally and silently,
it has changed the little girls.
But having taken away the dreams
and the simple things we shared before.
Time has led us to the lasting things
we need each other for...
Memories of moments
that were made for us to share,
The crazy laughter
that's somehow always there,
The hidden corners of our lives
only we will ever know,
And the love that becomes deeper
and sweeter as it grows.
Time changes many things
and some dreams come apart,
But nothing can reach or change
the love for you
that lives within my heart.
"Sisters touch your heart in ways no other could.
Sisters share... their hopes, their fears, their love, everything they have.
Real friendship springs from their special bonds."
To a Special Sister
A sister is one of the nicest things
that can happen to anyone.
She is someone to laugh with and share with,
to work with and join in the fun.
She is someone who helps in the rough times
and knows when you need a warm smile.
She is someone who will quietly listen
when you just want to talk for awhile.
A sister is dear to you always,
for she is someone who is always a part
of all the favorite memories
that you keep very close to your heart..
When Julie and I were little
we sometimes used to fight:
she'd read my secret diary
and I would scratch and bite.
If she pulled up the window shade
I would want it down;
if she wore short pajamas
I'd wear a long nightgown.
But then we learned it's better
to have a sister-friend,
someone beside you in the dark,
someone to hold your hand.
Now we're glad my hair is long
and hers is short and curled.
The difference doesn't matter:
we're two against the world
One's Sister is a part of one's essential self, an eternal
presence of one's heart and soul and memory
