My Big Sister
Sweet as the scent of honeysuckle on the vine
Bright and cheerful as the finest bubbling wine
Soft as the down of an old feather pillow
Strong and bold as the lone weeping willow
She was my big Sister and my best friend
She stood by my side through thick and through thin
Always waiting with an outstretched hand
I always knew that she would understand
Asking for advice from the One my Mama taught
I would wait for my big Sister�s grown up thoughts
Sitting close on the bed as she whispered secrets in my ear
It is times like these that to me are so dear
We laughed, we cried, we fought, we loved
We went through it all as sisters should
Even though in years we were six apart
We shared the love in each others heart
She was my Big Sister and my best friend
I�ll always stand by her through thick and through thin
I�ll still keep our whispered secrets safe and secure
Just as I�ll hold onto her memory of love so pure
