Sister of Mine

A defining moment…

Rachel

I saw my heart wrapped in a blue baby blanket

sitting down obediently

welcoming my sister into my open arms

gently with pride

I cradled her--- my Rachel, my Rachel

Sister of mine

I have wanted and waited and now it’s our time

Sister of mine

an angel with soft feathered wings laced in gold

a sister with such small hands, fingers and the tiniest of toes.

I behold

Sister of mine

Sister of mine

With this feeling is love

You shall always shine

You always shine.
