A heart is an amazing thing.
It knows no boundaries or limits.
You cannot predict who it
will or won't love,
You cannot decide how many times
it will be broken or mended.
The most incredible feature, however,
is its capacity for love.
I love generously and completely,
but these days I do so more cautiously.
I never thought about having an older sister, seriously.
The idea never became an actual part of my thoughts
I am so used to being the one to do all the protecting
and shouldering of burdens and problems.
Then you exploded into my life,
and the idea became a reality.
I give my all to those I love.
You are no different.
My head is still spinning,
but my heart made its decision a while ago.
I don't care about blood ties or lack of them.
You are my sister.
I love you because you make me laugh
and feel like a child again.
I love you because you let me cry on your shoulder
and hurt when I hurt.
I love you because you don't pretend
like most people today.
I love you because you protect me
and let me be myself.
I love you because you are you,
sunlight in a world of shadows.

Hey, this is a poem I wrote for my sister...who I am currently ticked off at because she's added a twist to her story, Shaerane. But I love her anyway!
