Oh My Goodness

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!!


That is amazing!!! Thank you so much for all of that hard work, how did you ever find these poems! I think I'm going to use the Mary Englebeit poem for my new lil sis, and the one about stars for my current lil sis. Thank You so much, this is amazing!

I did find this poem, which I'm going to present to my big sis, when I finish her afgan that I'm crocheting. (it's kinda my family tree thing. I made one for my current lil sis, working on my big sis's, and when that gets finished, my new lil sis will get one. ~~ hopefully, I'll have enough time to make my grand lil one too - if my tree will ever grow that far!)

any way poem for big sis
It's not in the hand, though I know that its there
To catch me from falling, and guide me with care

It's not in the ears, though I know that they hear
My hopes and my sorrows, my joys and my fears

It's not in the lips, though they always do say
Words to encourage, that show me the way

It's not in the tears, though you shed them with me
To comfort my weakness, when I am in need

It's in knowing you're there, no matter the time or the place
Across any distance, you're my saving grace

You give of yourself, and you give of your heart
It's often hard to distinguish, where you end and I start

Our bond is a circle, with no beginning or end
You're not only a sister, but a deeply loved friend








Once again, I can't thank you enough!
