From My Heart To You

A Friend like A Sister Is A Rose

God sent us the flowers
that grow all around
The rose is my favorite
it unfolds like a gown

With a scent of such fragrance
nothing can compare
And the beauty of it
fills your heart and your soul

A friend like a sister
is just like a rose
As it awakens the beauty
that they do behold

So much we have in common
from all the things we've done
Some silly and some serious
but we sure do have our fun

We laugh at each other
and pick but done with love
We have shared our tears together
when depressed we do become

We pick each other up
and help them see the sun
For bad days come for all
and we seek the good ones

We talk about our hubbies
and our families so much
what we would like life to give
to each and every one

We met in a game of Gin
when you came to play
I was running the tourney
and the fun we had that day

As time went on and things were said
I knew I wouldn't mind
Being a close friend of yours
like a sister you've become

Our hope and dreams
Or times we spit and sputter
We listen very carefully
and always cheer up each other

We laugh and cry
on shoulders wide
And know that they are there
always loving and kind

So my sister-my soulmate
my buddy-my friend
I wish you a world
filled with love to the end

As the road comes with twists
or curves at the end
we will travel the same path
and meet in the end

To Aleta
With all my love
