You were there the day I was born and you have been there every day since

When I was a baby...
You would lull me to sleep as I lay upon your belly and with its every rise and every fall I would tumble deeper into my sweet dreams

You would sing to me and even though you did not sound like the angels in the pews it was enough for me

You would tickle my sides until tears rolled down my face with mirth and with joy

When I was a teenager...
You taught me how to drive even though you got the car stuck between two trees when you were seventeen

You looked at me with that understanding stare when I told you about that time I smoked **** with that boy and that time I did that other thing with a different boy

You listened to me when I cried about mom and dad because after 35 years I didn't know if they'd make it

And now...
I consider you my dearest and closest friend

You are Caiti

You are
My Sister
