Sisters Poem by Annalee Somerville

Even though we didn't grow up together,
Like almost all sisters do,
I wrote this poem to tell you,
Your love has pulled me through.

You're my little sister,
My rock in emotional storms,
Always there to hold me tight,
And guide me safely home.

You've protected me from the judgers,
That never walked in our shoes,
That these weren't really my friends,
So I had nothing to really lose.

You've held me high above the waters,
That were raging and called my name,
That even though things were hard,
I had no reason to feel ashamed.

I don't know where I'd be,
If not for a sister like you,
No matter what anyone says,
Your strength has made me anew.

Thank you for never giving up on me,
For being my hero and helping me shine,
I'm so blessed by Father Sky above,
To say that you are mine.
