Dear Sister
Together on life's journey
We have traveled...you and me
Sharing all the joys of life
Keeping each other company.
Sharing lots of happy times
And sometimes sharing tears
Always leaning on each other
Together through the years.
And no matter where life leads us
Dear sister, know it's true
It has been a joy to travel
Down the road of life with you.
