As I sit to write these lines,
I remember at the stairs,
Standing still with blooming eyes,
When I knew you had a name,
And were coming home to stay!
I stood still and then I screamed,
“I’m the happiest in the world”
So many times, as I imagined
My tiny beautiful sister arriving,
And soon of her the hand I’d hold;
That moment is still and vivid,
Of all memories in my life,
The one I keep in heart so dear,
I loved you even before I saw your eyes!
Many years have passed since then,
We grew together, we played and danced,
We lived under one roof and shared beds,
Shared food and clothes and games!
We loved the same movies, the same songs,
We sang together, echoing the stars,
We set at the balcony, as one alone,
We enjoyed the same setting Sun.
I love you, sister, more, and more,
I fell in love without seeing you,
Even in a distance, even before,
I even knew that you were born.
That love has grown, a thousand miles,
I live to love you and see you succeed,
You my little balllerina sister, who brings smiles,
And fills the empty room, with all that’s needed.
You, a woman, with compassion and strength,
That, you have become, dear and caring,
Although, you’ll be my little sister till the end,
I see you Woman, loving, courageous, daring!
Proud to see you now, in many walks of life,
We’re growing old together,
I thank God for bringing me the luck,
To hold and be with you forever.
And as I thank God for the beautiful you,
I thank you for the two angels you brought,
To be my niece and my nephew,
For the joy and love we share, and being their aunt!
Have a Happy Birthday little Sister!
Every time on this day when the candles glow,
I stand on top of the stairs, and whisper,
“I’m the happiest girl in the world! “
