I cannot remember
you holding me
when I was a baby,
but I know you did.
My great big 6-year-old sister,
from the very start,
you have held me,
sheltered me,
educated me,
disciplined me,
protected me,
and above all
loved me,
with a love that one only knows
because of God.
Never ever
will there be enough
time
words
deeds
to thank God properly
for you.
