For years now, my little sister has truly been a strong support system for me and my family. She takes on any burden without showing any weakness, for the sake of sparing anyone sadness. She truly is the light in my life, but sometimes I think she takes on too much, or people just expect so much out of her because she is too kind to complain. Anyways, last night while showering I was just singing per usual and came up with this beautiful poem about her and just how incredible she is in my eyes. If you have a sister or someone that fills the role as a best friend/sister, feel free to share this with them. I was going to wait until her 21st birthday but I felt it should be shared with her today, in case day were to be our last day together on this earth. I love you Jules. ......................... I thought I knew beauty, But then you touched my soul. Holding you in the hospital room at two years old. Sometimes I get so scared, Then I see you standing there. You take away any doubt, Without moving your mouth, And I've never felt so alive, With you by my side. I've always tried to prepare you, For the world out there. When we would play on the swings, I'd say kick high and aim for your dreams, Because you can do anything. You amaze me in so many ways, everyday. I don't understand how I earned, A spectrum of your heart, You never expect anything in return. When a heavy storm comes my way, You heal every burn and have helped me learn that everything will eventually be okay. But only if you're here to stay. Me and you, A duo nobody can undo. Little sister, You're not so little anymore I miss crawling with you across the floor. With you in my life, I don't need anything more. We're growing up and times flying by, But if you need my shoulder to laugh on or cry, I'll be here arms open, I love you so much and, No matter what distance slips in between, Or when we go through our daily routines, I promise your beauty never goes unseen, Because you constantly finds ways to inspire me. I never worry about us being drawn apart, Because from the moment I held you, You etched in my heart, "Forever and always," A promise from the start.
