My sister wrote me this poem today!

I REMEMBER WHEN MY LIL' SIS WAS BORN,
YOUR BLONDE HAIR, YOUR BLUE EYES THE OUTFIT YOU WORE,
I SAT ON THE COUCH AND HELD YOU SO TIGHT,
STARING IN YOUR EYES THAT WERE SO BRIGHT,
YOUR TINY LIL' FINGERS, YOUR CUTE BUTTON NOSE,
I LOVED YOU SO MUCH FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR TOES!
HOW PROUD AS YOUR SISTER TO HAVE HAD YOU WITH ME,
TOGETHER THROUGH CHILDHOOD, GROWING WITH ME!

GOING THROUGH SCHOOL, COMPLETING EACH YEAR,
PURSUEING YOUR DREAMS, AND FIGHTING YOUR FEARS.
GRADUATING HIGHSCHOOL AND THEN COLLEGE TOO
YOU MADE ME SO PROUD, THAT YOU'VE FOLLOWED TRHOUGH.
YOU THEN WALKED THE ISLE, TO GET MARRIED THAT DAY,
NO WORDS CAN EXPLAIN, I HAD NOTHING TO SAY.
BUT HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU LOOKED, WHEN YOU WALKED OVER MY WAY.
WHEN YOU WALKED TRHOUGH THOSE DOORS, TO MEET YOUR BEST FRIEND,
I KNEW YOU'D BE HAPPY, TO THE VERY END!

WHEN YOU CALLED ME TO SAY MY NEPHEW WAS BORN,
YOU MADE ME SO PROUD AGAIN AND AGAIN!
WHEN I SEE YOUR OWN FAMILY, BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYE,
REMEMBERING BACK WHEN YOU WERE ALL MINE!

AND NOW SADIE RAE IS COMING YOUR WAY
A BUNDLE OF JOY, GOD'S PRINCESS TODAY!

WITH LOTS OF LOVE A HEAD TO GIVE, A BIRTHDAY WISH FOR YOU
TO HAVE, TO HOLD, AND ALL LIFE THROUGH,
THEY'RE YOURS AND JOSH'S TOO!
