when I weep you are my shoulder to lean on
when I ache you take the pains away
when I'm lonely you keep me company
when I'm cold you keep me warm
when I'm sad, you lift my spirits
when I frown, you make me smile

I'm thankful for a sister like you
you do things so many others cannot do
but most of all
when I feel all else fails
you are there
to say
''I  love you''

;
green
eyes gazed
outstretched tan arms
invited me into a warm embrace
you were like a walk through the woods
and i thought i knew all the paths
then i took a wrong turn
right into poison
ivy

aye
but the warmth I feel
beneath its heart
warms inside of me
as I write
as I breathe
as I indulge
in the beauty
of poetry

yes
the heart of the sun
is so gentle
as it caresses
enlightens me
delights me
thrills me
as the words
come flowing
into my head

aye
I lie here thinking
of birds singing
dogs barking
children laughing
I can't get enough
as I indulge
as I breathe
as I write
about
the sun

oft we tend to go on in life
as we forget the little things
or block out the sad things
that have happened in our lives

but I say, Nay, do not forget
that some things are worth
remembering and bringing back
so we can pursue differently

we have come a long way in life
but we need not to forget
what or who it was
that has brought us this far

my Dad was an inspiration
saying ''you can do it"
and should I just go on
without even a thank you

some things in life are forgotten
so we can pursue in life
but whatever happens henceforth
never forget
those that loved you most
