I remember from the beginning, I was just a little girl
Didn’t know what to do with myself in this big ole world
I could do anything, she reminded me
When I was scared and needed to cry, there’d she be
Can’t imagine growing up without her around
Without all the fun and adventures we found
Just a big yard but we had big imaginations
Didn’t then realize the extent of my appreciation
I remember fighting and sometimes the cruel words
But that never stopped me from looking up to her
Growing up with someone like her around
Was a blessing I have that some have never found
I could cry to her with anything on my mind
It didn’t matter what it was, she never hurt my pride
Looking back now I remember the late nights
We’d stay up laughing till we cried
So many of my favorite memories
Are moments when it was just her and me
Times have changed and we have grown
And as I finally come into my own
I couldn’t think of a more perfect situation
Because now she’s more than my inspiration
As I become a woman as well
We can relate on a different level
I love knowing that until the very end
She’s not just my sister, but also an amazing friend.
