Ten years older and bound by blood
Sharing and caring through the years
My soul is bleeding without you here
Holding dear to our precious memories

I close my eyes and can see
The ocean in our view
The laughter, the kids, the sunsets
All favorite memories vivid and clear 

The giant church rummage sales
Our bags filled with bargains and junk
Not a care in the world except
Who would find the best trinket of the day

The Young and the Restless
The latest train wreck of a reality show
The newest Lifetime movie
Who will help keep me up to date and
Share theories of all their fates

The Lemonade Lounge conceived by you
A small haven of twinkly lights and bamboo
Created a world of escape 
For us to talk the days away
Tightening our bond and sharing our pain

You saved my 1st birthday after loosing our Mom
Blessing me with your gift made of love
A priceless blanket full of squares 
Sewn from her clothes filled with memories of her
It still brings me comfort this very day

Your fight with grace and courage
Against that nasty six letter word
Amazes me still 
You wanting to bare all the pain for your children
Trying to protect them once more 
As a great mom would 

All I can do now is put on my headphones
Turn up the volume as loud as it will go
No on will ever get me quite like you
Our time together was much too short
My flood of tears are raining down on me
I miss you so

My only peace in knowing your pain is gone
You've earned your angel wings
Please watch over me 
For I am sure to stumble 
Without my big sister to read the small print
