A poem I wrote for my sister

Before I came into the world, before I was born

I was told there’ll be angel who will be my mom


But I was puzzled when I arrived

As there were two angels sitting by my side


‘This is your sister’, we were introduced

Why is she an angel? I thought, amused


It didn’t make sense as the years passed by

She made me laugh and I made her cry


We kept our secrets and leaked a few

A confidante in disguise, it was you


An intelligent confident girl who’s not afraid to dream

My sister, my support, you are like oxygen for me


Ups and downs, high and low

You stood by me and took all the blow


Why she is an angel, I can now see

I wish I could do half as much as you’ve done for me


Sisters are not just sisters, they are friends, they say

You, my sister, are precious and on this special day,


I wish you all the happiness and sorrows to disappear

I wish you all the success and no more tears


I wish you have the power, the courage to heal

My sister, my friend, my angel, I got the best deal
