Sister of My Soul

Always known

Lifetime of friendship

Love

Sweetness

Rarely a cross word

Never far from my heart-

My sister of the soul

We are growing old

With style

With grace

Saving face

Still best friends

Cousin…

A relationship

Like no other

I treasure us!

You were the best part of

my childhood…

Always there

Always care

Sister, my dear

I will always

Be near

In spirit.

We have traveled

This journey together

For our entire lives-

So it will be

Until the end

My precious

Sister of my Soul-

Patricia.

Anthony’s Poem

You were big and strong and brave…

always made waves.

The eldest

led the way

Kept us safe

always at play

Mama and the spoons

sunny afternoons…

milk and cookies

always there

had to ‘tribute’

share.

Our childhood

not so bad,

they cared.

Grown now

grown apart

grown to middle age

always in my heart.

Never matter

the loves the same

we were there

we share an unbreakable bond.

We will always care.

Cousin,

you are still

big and strong and brave,

heart of a lion,

a hero just the same.
