I told you how you rescued me.
In my darkest hour
you were there.
A light that cut through the shadows,
A path I could not see until you showed it.

I had built my own prison,
Walls of habit and shame.
I trapped myself in addiction,
The chains I swore I wasn’t wearing.

But you were there.
You saw me falling,
And with your gentle touch
You pulled me back
Not with force,
But with grace
I didn’t believe I deserved.

Without words,
With only a look
I knew I was safe.
I will never forget.
My loving sister.
