(This Poem is Dedicated to My Best Friend Cassandra)

For My Sister in Almost Every Way

When I was sad and alone
You were there
When I was happy and joyful
Your love for me shone
Like dazzling stars in the forest at midnight

When I was angry and hurt
You calmed me down
Your words had surround
Me with peacefulness and serenity
You really care about me
This is how I know you have a true beauty

When I was bored and annoying
You were still on the phone with me
Only someone who was family
Had ever done that and didn’t tell me to shut up

You have never been the one for gossip
And so whatever I told you
Always stayed behind your lips
Even after I made some pretty hurtful slips
Why is it that your heart is so true?
It seems to me your heart is golden
And no I’m not exaggerating
I’ve seen you comfort other people while you were also hurting
I’ve seen you calm down people
When they said for you to leave them be
I’ve seen you connect with me
In a way no one else has
I’ve seen you happy and sad

Your one of the most unselfish people I know
I’ve seen you say hello
To people who did you wrong
I’ve seen you be strong
When people shunned you and acted like you didn’t belong

Friend cannot even describe my connection with you
Best friend cannot even explain how you’ve gotten through
To the true me
Sister cannot even reveal what you mean to me
It cannot begin to define how much I love you deeply

Always,
   Kai (a.k.a. precious pearls)

Kai,

I struggle in my friendships with my blood sisters.  I have three and all are a lot older than me.  I have one best friend - she is my "sister by choice".  I read her in every line of your poem.

Thank you for sharing such a beautiful tribute to your "sister by choice".

Alison
