You'll never guess how much I've missed you
All throughout this past year
Days when I just want you nearby
So upon your shoulder I can cry
Now once again we are together
I love your smile and twinkling eyes
You brighten even the darkest skies
When you are here the puzzles complete
Memories of fun, family and sisterly love
Along with all the minor conflicts we rise above
A death stare....a cross word
Our love for each other is unconditional
Even though we butt heads and get a tad emotional
I could never contemplate holding a grudge against you
And I believe you feel the exact same way too
Staying mad at you is really quite hard
Cos your spontaniety catches me off guard
Your wonderful weirdness and crazy ways
An abundance of talent and personality to boot
There are many reasons why, to you, I salute!
I look up to you for your strength inside
Ready to embrace what life had planned
With your focus and drive, on your feet you did land
But it's not all seriousness and work
This is the true you, who has us in hysterics
You're funny and brilliant, there's not a thing about you I'd fix
Your generosity towards your family is indescribable
You've given my daughter things I never could
You've done above and beyond what most Aunts' would
I've been blessed to have a sister like you
There's one part I hate about you arriving
Because no matter what....it leads to you leaving
So please promise me you'll keep yourself safe and sound
