Cheryl,
A Special Sister
©2003
by Bud Lemire
This
is a special poem for my sister Cheryl
Who
flew from the nest, just like a sparrow
She
spread her wings along ago, to make it on her own
And
through the many years, my sister sure has grown
Her
life took many twists, and several different turns
The
spirit inside her, lessons she had learned
Life
doesn't come easy, it's hard work that helps you through
Sometimes
it's a rough road, no matter what you do
She's
the baby girl of my Mom's first family
And
she's just three years older than me
She
raised her own family, far from her birthplace
A
daughter and a son, with her smiling face
Oh I
recall the days when we were young
And
all the good memories of the songs that were sung
The
times when we went to Aunt Olive's Camp
The
nights when you were rocking by the living room lamp
Time
has taken us each down a different road
Lessons
that we learn as we carry our load
May
this day be a special one for you with lots of love
With
the Easter sunshine shining on you from above
For
you Cheryl, May you always know how special you are to me.
