Sitting down,
looking at some pictures
of you and me
back in the day,
when nothing else mattered.
Now life is moving on.
I see you're growing up so fast,
starting a family
and a life of your own.
I wish one day I could have
what you have now:
somebody to love
who loves you back,
a child who will be born
having the greatest parents in the world.
It's hard to believe
you're going to be a mother
and a wife.
Life goes so fast,
only pictures to remind us of the past.
As I look at them,
tears fall from my eyes
as I see you, my sister,
with a life I could only dream about.
I love you with all my heart.
You'll always be my hero.
Sisters Growing Up
Sometimes my sister and I fight, but I love her more than anything.
My Hero
