Written for my sister, shortly before she died of cancer.

From my earliest memory
Way back at age three
A whispered goodbye
A tear just for me
Forever the leader
Showing us how to have fun
Saving just enough energy
To tuck us in when we’re done
The brightest among us
Our own shooting star
Creative, courageous
The most daring by far
Afraid of nothing
Taking each challenge in stride
Finding inner peace
With a long bike ride
Hiking mountains, running rivers
Something new each day
An inspiration to us all
Living life your own way
You may not have known it
But you were always my guide
A constant ray of hope
My sister by my side
There’s one thing you taught me
That I know to be true
You don’t have to see me
To know I love you
