Sister

It isn't just her height
that prompts me to look up
to her.

Or her age, which is getting
quite lofty.

But so many things that I wish
to someday achieve.

And sometimes I resent her,
for getting her act together
so quickly.

But that's just between you and me.

It's her style,
so classic.

And her spirit,
so kind.

It's the way that she cares,
always with her whole heart.

And even though
I don't always admit it...

I admire her more than
she knows.


Happy Birthday, Sistow...
Quarter of a century. Wowza. 
Love you to the moon and back.
