MY SISTER, MY BEST FRIEND

With eyes of a sparkling green,
Hidden colours, painted with a swirl
She enters, bringing life and light into me
Into the dim lit, drab bare walls of my world,
I thank you for the light my friend

Even though I cried today,
You caught it, shared it, held it,
Then it was not so painful after all.
With tender care and warmth
The smudged marks on the walls disappear

The bewitching smile, glint in your eyes
You captivate and entrap opulence
Always life and soul within longevity
Even a soul tainted with past
She brings forth courage and change

Of wit and charm, of personality,
Memories of youth, some depreciated
And most enraptured, I look upon them fondly, bringing forth thankfulness so genuine
A rainbow with in your being, softens the storm
Even when doves shed a tear, you embrace it

With me, our friendship has become a wedge
Of my agonizing world now,
It is red-lettered with distinction,
And even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you my dear…
