Every day I watched mom’s belly grow bigger and bigger
She told me my sister lay inside
Just waiting until the day she could come and meet us
Until then
She would eat and grow
And
Toss and turn
And
I would wait and wait
Every day I kissed mommies belly
You inside there
Were already my friend
I couldn’t wait until you could talk to me
But First you had to come out
On one Spring day
It finally happened
Mom went to the hospital
Leaving us at home
With her best friend
The next thing we knew
There you were
So tiny
Everyone scared to hold you
I didn’t care
I just wanted to kiss you
You looked like one of my toy dolls
But I knew you were my sister
Mom said
I would sit there and talk to you
Forever and ever
I know it’s because I loved you
Because you’re my sister
For the rest of our days
Through thick and thin
Good times and bad
We’ll always be together
I’ll love you forever
