God knew there'd be times
I would need a word of cheer
Someone to praise a triumph
Or lightly brush away a tear.

He knew I'd need to share
The simple joy of little things
In order to just
appreciate
The happiness life brings.

He knew My troubled heart
Will at times throb with pain
At trials and Life's misfortunes
Or goals that I'd not
attain.

He knew I'd need some comfort
And loving guidance, too,

He answered My heart's call
And sent me an Angel in You.

Sisters can be a lot like bunnies.
You get one, two or maybe a few.
And life can be so filled with funnies.
Ha! I got just one and it was you!

(You are supposed to chuckle here!)

Oh, what better time than Sister Day
To think of our relationship
And remember every single way
We turn to each other in friendship.

(You know I need you dear!)

Regardless of whether you live near or far
I always know that on you I can count.
I would travel by railroad or plane or by car,
Distance a problem with ease I surmount.

(You know I wish you were near!)

Always remember when we’re apart,
As I reminisce with pleasure,
I hold you lovingly within my heart,
As you are the sister and friend I treasure.

(Call me, together we’ll shed a tear!)
