A Sister’s Hug



~~~

Today is the day

That I am gifted

And holding you close

My spirit is lifted

~~~

The distance between

Is suddenly gone

Holding you now

I just want to hang on

~~~

You are one in a billion

This was always true

You are my heart

And I, a part of you

~~~

Though I call you sister

That is not where love ends

You are much more than that

You are family and friend

~~~

As our arms embrace

There is something you should know

Distance is only space

And I am never letting go

~~~

Even when life is hard

And the trials very real

It is this hug right now

That I will always feel

~~~
