When I was ten I prayed for you I prayed for a sister To be my friend You were born early Premature Neo nato intensive care We didn’t know if you’d live But you did I remember Teaching you how to walk Helping you In the living room With your first steps On your own Your smile and laughter Sparkling eyes The way you loved Children Writing and directing Neighborhood plays I taught you dance steps Which you executed perfectly And you were mine- sweet sister of mine When you were a teen You paid your own plane ticket Flew out To be with me When my first baby was born When you went to college We drifted apart Your life busy When you married And had kids We grew close again We talked often I was always welcome Then a rift In our relationship Angry with me You felt betrayed Distance and silence Fill the space And my heart aches Breaks I ask to visit And you say You are too busy Then I see you with other sisters Time for them But in my eyes You will always be beautiful Wonderful A miracle In my eyes You will always be beautiful Wonderful A miracle I will always love you Baby of mine Sister of mine Friend I will always love you Baby of mine Sister of mine Friend But I miss you And know things Have changed Forever And yet I hope I pray You will choose Me Again One day You will choose Me Again One day
