Poem for Lil Sis
 

For initiation, the Bigs give their LIls a poem/quote, usually in a picture frame. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Here are two ideas...the last one (My Anchor) would probably work better if she was giving a poem to you...but oh well! I like it!

Untitled

There are those who pass like ships in the night
Who meet for a moment, then sail out of sight
With never a backwards glance of regreat
Those we know briefly and then forget.
Then there are those that sail together
Through quiet waters and stormy weather
Helping each other through joy and through strife
And those are the kind who give meaning to life.

My Anchor

I recall my life as full of rain
Patterns filled with clouds and hurricanes
Then you came along, and
Somehow made me
strong enough to stand

Running from the tears upon my face
From feelings I turned
inwards and misplaced
Then you came along, somehow made me strong -
You took my hand

You are my anchor -
when I begin to drift
My anchor - when tides begin to shift
My anchor - and when the clouds begin to lift -
You're always there

I was like a ship without a port
Always setting sail but falling short
Fighting with the wind
Then you pulled me in and took me home

You are my anchor -
when I begin to drift
My anchor - when tides begin to shift
My anchor - and when the clouds begin to lift -
You're always there

You are like the sun upon a wave
You are like the light within a cave
Everywhere I turnI see your smile and yearn to be

You are my anchor -
when I begin to drift - My anchor when tides begin to shift
My anchor - and when the clouds begin to lift -
You're always there

one that i've always liked is from "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon and Garfunkel:

Sail on silvergirl,
Sail on by.
Your time has come to shine.
All your dreams are on their way.
See how they shine.
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

Found one!
 

Hey y'all, I found one!!

Sisters By Heart

It seems we just connected
Right from the start,
Meant to be-naturally,
Sisters by heart.
And though we don't share parents
As real sisters do,
Growing in my family tree
Is a special branch for you.
A time-tested kinship
In which God plays a part,
Through talks and laughter, sorrow and dreams
Of sisters by heart.
