This poem is for my kid sister, Myk. We met online, several years ago, and became friends. Next met face to face, and became sisters in real life. Myk is very bright, smart, silly, and we laugh constantly when we are together. She is very special to me, and I consider myself very blessed to have her as my sister.


For My Sister

You trusted me enough to let me see your tears.
You trusted me enough to let me hear you cry.
You trusted me enough to let me hold you close in my arms until the racking
sobbing ceased its hold on you.
You trusted me enough to let me see your beautiful smile shine through your
tear streaked face.
You trusted me enough to let me love you.
I do, Sis...and I always will.
