Thank you for sending me the things
to make me think,laugh,or smile.
For when I am down
it makes the hurt go away
if only for a while.

That is why sisters is so dear,
just because they love you.
And always know they're there
to lend a listening ear
and take away the blues.

It is also why I thank my God..
for Loretta he sent my way.
For he knows we all need some cheer
and the support each and everyday.

So to Loretta
I send a rose to you.
Because I know that you
are my sister through and true.

In each of us is a special gift
for if we love one another
It can surpass so much pain and fear
And give help and love to others.
So take this rose Loretta,
and hold it close to your heart.
And always remember me,
for we will never be apart.
