This was written for my dearest friend's birthday last month. It reminds me so much of Marsha and Kethry that I decided to share it with them.


To the sister of my heart
A friend that’s tried and true
God gave me the greatest gift
When he gave me a friend like you

To my sister in Christ
My partner in prayer
A sister ~ not by blood
A sister ~ because you care

You’re the sister I never had
The sister I got to choose
Your friendship is a treasure
A gift I’ll never lose
Sister of my heart

Love,
Cheryl

Such a sweet and lovely poem, HisPoet, I have a friend also who is like a sister to me. My sisters live in North Carolina and I don't get to see them often, and my friend's sister was killed in a car wreck...and so we are best friends and sisters in Christ. I don't know what I would do without her sometimes, therefore I love your poem, it meant a lot to me.

Humble Bee, I'm so happy you have a friend like this too. It's funny because I live in North Carolina. Too bad I can't give your sisters a hug for you. Thanks for reading. Cheryl

Sunshine, I'm so glad someone else thinks this fits them too. I wish I knew both of them better but I've always enjoyed reading both poets work and have fun replying back and forth. So thanks for Passions, I'll hopefully get to know everyone a lot better. Cheryl

Cheryl,
This is a beautiful tribute from a beautiful friend. I'm trying to get Kethry and Marsha to make me a sandwich. {Marsha/me/Kethry} They say they have limits and standards. I hear this all the time.

If very pathetic I would be
Would you still be friends with me?

Hi Nan, Glad you think this fits them. I thought so too.

Roger, you would make delicious lunch meat.

Cheryl darling girl do I love it? Oh yes indeed I do

Thank you yes truly this does fit Keth and I very well and over this week I think you'll see why.

Everyone else has a quiet birthday with not much fuss, I on the other hand am different. You can tell can't you? Mmmmm yes I don't let birthday's slip by unannounced.

Your writing has always been good darling girl lately it has blossomed and become even better. This is wonderful writing absolutely wonderful


Love and warm stuff
As always
