My Sister Is

					My Sister Is... 
                               someone who helps me find my smile. 
                                  Who accepts me for what I am. 
                                 who lets me know that my efforts 
                                   really are worthwhile, and that 
                               my accomplishments are worthy ones. 
                                   She lets me know that she will 
                                  catch me if I fall. She's so much 
                                more wonderful than she will admit 
                                 to being. She watches out for me 
                                   and helps me through it all... 

                                         My Sister Is... 
                                         someone I'm very 
                                       proud to be related to. 
                                    Having her as such a special 
                                  part of my family has given me 
                                 memories that I wouldn't trade for 
                                anything and hopes that I'll have for 
                              as long as I live. Even if there are times 
                          when the two of us are far away from each other, 
                            our thoughts will make sure we stay together.

                                         My Sister Is... 
                               a person who is great to have around. 
                               She's someone who laughs at my jokes 
                              (maybe because she has the same warped 
                               sense of humor!) and she understands 
                              the times when I need a shoulder to cry 
                                on. She is there for me in the exact 
                                same way that I will always be there 
                                for her. Our friendship will always 
                               remain, and our love will never depart.

                                          My Sister ... 
                                deserves to know that even though I 
                               don't always get a chance to show it, 
                                  she is absolutely essential to the 
                               happiness... that lives within my heart.
