For My Big Sister

Sis, I don't know where to begin;
To tell you what I want to say.
But, I will surely do my best;
And somehow, I'll find a way.

A way to tell you what you mean;
And how much you mean to me.
I just have to let you know;
I'll find a way to make you see.

I have always looked up to you;
And held so much love inside.
I told others who you were;
And I said "My big sis" with pride.

I envied you for what you could do;
But, you said my time would come.
You let me tag along sometimes;
I was your shadow and your chum.

I thank you for putting up with me;
When I know I was a brat.
And for giving me some time with you;
When I wanted some sister chat.

You will always be very special to me;
And I love you with all my heart.
There is nothing anyone could ever do;
That would make us drift apart.

I'm glad that God made us sisters;
And, no better could I have done.
You're also the best friend I ever had;
Compared to you, there is no one!
