I remember back to yesterday
When you were very small
You looked just like an angel
You looked just like a doll.
I held you many, many, times
I told you bedtime stories
I told you I'd protect you
I told you not to worry.
As you grew older day by day
And months grew into years
I had my special sister
Who I could tell my fears.
We went together everywhere
We played like sisters do
We even had our little spats
But never "I hate you's".
The older each of us became
The more the love we shared
We've always held a special bond
To some comes very rare.
Then we had babies of our own
And now we watch them grow
We laugh and cry and talk alot
Of sister things--we know.
And as our hair gets a little gray
Or a wrinkle line appears
I cherish each and every one
For with them brings some cheer.
Of thinking back to yesterday
Of my sister and my friend
That held my hand when little
And holds my heart again.
It matters not how old we get
For our love will never die
For the love I have for my sister
I'll always be by your side.
